| Center for Anti-Slavery Studies Our County has an especially rich
history of anti-slavery activity. The County’s development for most of the 19th Century was closely bound
up with the abolitionist movement, the Civil War and Reconstruction. From 1835 to 1860, it was one of the
most important centers of resistance to slavery, serving as a key station in the underground railroad.
The AME Zion Church in Montrose is currently being restored for a museum and visitors’ center. For more
information, contact Sherman Wooden at 570-278-3199 or Paul Gere at 570-278-2187. |
