    Guests can hear the thrilling tales of those who dared to seize their freedom from slavery using the informal network of supporters called “The Underground Railroad.” Actors at Independence National Historical Park bring to life three of the people William Still recorded in his book on the Underground Railroad, in three separate performances. On Friday, August 21, meet “Ellen Craft” who traveled as an invalid white man attended by her husband in the role of her enslaved servant. Each program is offered at noon and 3 pm at the Independence Visitor Center. These free programs are sponsored by the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program.
