Registration Required: https://milne.librarycalendar.com/event/library-field-trip-berkshire-county-abolitionist-sites-6263Did you know Frederick Douglass did speeches in the Berkshires? How about prolific scholars and people advocating for their freedom in Berkshire County? As the nation gears up to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we are excited to amplify the voices of American citizens whose work(s) have changed the country and region we live in.
Join us for a series of events centered around influential scholar and orator, Frederick Douglass, and other abolitionists that found themselves in Berkshire County and ventured further to take this meaningful work nationally.
This last event is a library fieldtrip where we venture to historical sites, monuments, statues, and more of abolitionists in Berkshire County - Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois, Elizabeth Freeman, and the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts.
We will be meeting at the first location in Pittsfield, then going to South County to see other sites. Lunch is provided from Momma Lo's BBQ in Great Barrington. We encourage patrons to carpool with one another (gas reimbursement is available). When signing up, please sign yourself up and in the comments mention who else will be in your vehicle and if there any food restrictions we should be aware of.
Audio and visual guides will be available for this event shortly!
