Join us as we explore the personal memories of a freedom seeker on the Underground Railroad through song, story, and movement at Button Farm Living History Center.

Those Before Us: Button Farm explores the story of a freedom seeker traveling on the Underground Railroad, bringing distant memories to life through site-specific performance, song, and movement at the historic Button Farm Living History Center.
