You may know the name, but do you know the story? More than a historic site, Woodlawn was transformed from a plantation to an antislavery community, twenty years before the Civil War. 

You are invited to a special presentation sharing the details of Woodlawn’s newest exhibition: “Friends Gather Here: A Legacy of Two Communities at Woodlawn.” We’ll dive into the history of the Quaker families who settled here in the mid-19th century and the established free Black community they joined. Together, they demonstrated the power of equality and free labor in a time of deep national division. Come learn how this history continues to shape our community identity today.

Adults.
