Journey to Freedom

Event Summary

Imagine you are a Freedom Seeker--a runaway slave traveling Iowa's Underground Railroad in 1853. On this journey, you'll encounter slave catchers, farmers, and bounty hunters while trying to navigate your way to Canada. Who can you trust? Will your group make it to freedom? Or will you be captured and sent back into slavery? Let the African American Museum of Iowa and Wickiup Hill take you back in time to experience the journey's perils and triumphs in this interactive living-history event.  Hikes will last approximately 90 minutes. Please wear comfortable shoes, all-weather clothes, and be prepared to hike approximately 2 miles on uneven terrain.
