Underground Railroad History

The Roanoke Canal, Roanoke River, and Historic Halifax, North Carolina, were all part of the Underground Railroad’s complex transportation network. Freedom Seekers would use the owing rapids and steep banks of the Roanoke River to elude their pursuers. The Roanoke Navigation Canal’s location near the river and Halifax also made it an integral part of the escape routes. 

Saturdays in the Park will have interpreters and a display to showcase this history in our area.
