Journey on the Underground Railroad

Children and adults can experience what it was like to be a passenger on the Underground Railroad. This theatrical experience begins with a skit in which passengers will meet the legendary Harriet Tubman. Then, you will follow Hinsdale blacksmith John Coe on a journey down Salt Creek to Graue Mill. The Underground Railroad actually operated in Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Lyons, Downers Grove, and other nearby towns. Experience the sights and sounds of making your escape on the Underground Railroad.

"Journeys" begin at 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. Each lasts about an hour. Fee applies. Each Journey is limited to 25 travelers. The entrance fee is $12.50 for adults and $9.00 for children. Bring a flashlight and dress for the weather because portions of the program take place outside. Call (630) 655-2090 for more information.
