A Journey Through the Underground Railroad

By Linda Tancs

The Underground Railroad was a series of secret stations that enslaved Africans used to escape to the North and to Canada during the mid-1800s.  One of those stations was located at the Bethel A.M.E. Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  At that site they provide reenactments of the journey, a spiritual and creative endeavor called “Living the Experience.”  The event runs on select Saturdays from February through December at noon and includes a Southern-style buffet lunch thereafter.
