  1. I truly wish I had been informed about this program earlier. I have had an Underground Railroad Camp for over ten summers. My camp is part of the National Park Service’s Network to Freedom Program. My last one was conducted this past August at the historic Church of the Advocate. I, too, can provide teacher training. I have worked at he Johnson House Historic Site as a site administrator, and I still give tours of that site.Please contact me at 215-917-6318.

    Thank you!
