 The Portland Freedom Trail is a walking trail highlighting the people, places and activities associated with the Underground Railroad and the anti-slavery moment as actualized in Maine. Upon completion, sixteen permanent pedestal markers will honor the dedication and sacrifice of those who called for an end to slavery and took action to protect runaway slaves heading north to Canada for freedom. www.portlandfreedomtrail.org |
