Saturday, August 9th Underground Railroad Walking Tour Tours begin at 10:00 AM at the gazebo in Waynesville Memorial Park at 274 S. Main Street. 

Step back in time to Pre-Civil War Waynesville, where quiet streets once carried the footsteps of freedom seekers. Follow your guide through town as you learn about Waynesville’s Quaker roots and the vital role our community played in the Underground Railroad. Hear the stories of brave abolitionists, explore locations that once held secret rooms and hidden tunnels, and walk the very path where courage and hope met in secret.

This guided walking tour covers approximately one mile and takes about ninety minutes. $20 per person and all proceeds benefit the Museum at the Friends Home.
