Tour the Stephen and Harriet Myers Residence

August 13, 2024 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am

Myers Residence

Join with Schenectady County Historical Society staff and students and members of a Saratoga Springs Reading group for a tour of The Stephen and Harriet Myers Residence.

“We devote all our time to the care of the oppressed who come among us. Our pay is small, but yet we are willing to continue to do what we can for them. We have arrivals every few days from southern oppression, and forward them to the next depot…” – Stephen Myers, 1860

This historic site is a place where the community can come to learn about and be transformed by the inspiring story of the Underground Railroad, the first integrated civil rights movement in the United States, and its relevance for us today.

 

Adults; $12, Seniors: $8, Youth 16yr-9yr: $5, Below 9yr: Free
