Learn about the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom at Leesylvania State Park
Leesylvania State Park in Woodbridge will celebrate Black History Month throughout February.
The Underground Railroad Network to Freedom at Leesylvania State Park will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in February. The property that became Leesylvania State Park had a part to play with the flight of two runaway slaves, as well as a slave who escaped captivity in 1848.
In September 1861, during the Civil War, escaped slaves gave important information to Union soldiers about Confederate activity at Freestone Point.
Drop by the visitor center to learn more about the park’s rich and diverse history.
