2025-2026 Season

Join us for a visit to the Myers Residence at the Underground Railroad Education Center

We are going Out and About to the Underground Railroad Education Center
194 Livingston Avenue, Albany

Saturday February 28, 10 a.m.

Admission is $15 each payable at the door. $12 for seniors.

You must sign up with Susan Leath, SusanLeath2011@gmail.com or 518-209-5855.

Parking is on both sides of Livingston Avenue, Albany.  Please be mindful of the neighbors’ driveways.  Let Susan know if you would like to carpool and she will connect those willing to drive and those who would prefer to ride.

Our tour features the Stephen and Harriet Myers Residence. The home was a headquarters for Underground Railroad activity in the Capital Region in the mid 1850’s, as documented by a Vigilance Committee flier that has survived from that period along with other historic records. Today, 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.

Date & Time:  Saturday, February 28th – 10 AM
