Performance: A Taste of Freedom

February 14 @ 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm

Performance: A Taste of Freedom – Before Juneteenth and the Emancipation Proclamation, thousands of formerly enslaved men, women, and children gained freedom and sanctuary by escaping to Union camps in the South after Shepard Mallory, Frank Baker, and James Townsend secured their liberty at Fort Monroe. Learn about one of those men, Americus Weston, and his journey to freedom in this performance developed to commemorate Juneteenth. This is included in your Day Pass, Annual Pass or Good Neighbor Pass.
