Please excuse this post for an upcoming conference. It is not
directly for a museum but our organization has been doing research on
our local area on this topic and in the process discovered an unknown
UGRR site and we are seeking to tourn it into a house museum on the
UGRR. This conference is part of a collection of programs our group
does as we work toward a musem. It will continue as an important part
of our education program. We feel this conference is an outstanding
one. We would love to have you attend! Thanks.
