Sites of Enslavement in Bristol - Walking Tour

Walking Tour: Sites of Enslavement in Bristol

When: Friday, June 19th from 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Enslavement runs deeper in Bristol’s history than you might expect. In fact, the DeWolfs and Linden Place are just a start; enslaved people lived in many of the houses that still stand on Bristol's streets from the first years of the town’s founding. Join BH&PS Director Catherine Zipf on a walking tour to look at some of these sites and explore what we know and what we don’t (yet) know about the experiences of the enslaved in Bristol. Based on ongoing research, this tour stops at the end of Bristol's period of enslavement and sets the stage for continued conversation around the free Black experience in Bristol. 

This walking tour is offered on June 19 in honor of Juneteenth.

Cost: $10 for BH&PS members and $15 for non-members.
