Learn about and celebrate the rich history of the Windsor Freedom Trail with your family and friends by visiting sites that are associated with African American contributions, heritage, movement towards freedom, and the Underground Railroad. The run is approximately 3.9 miles. (A bus will follow the runners if rest is needed). It will begin at the Archer Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church and will end at the Riverside cemetery on East Street in Windsor, a site where a number of African American soldiers from the Connecticut 29th and 31st colored regiments and other civil war units are buried. Participants will stop at the other Windsor Freedom Trail Sites including the Palisado Cemetery - Nancy Toney grave site, the William Best House, and the Joseph Rainey House. Upon returning to the church, the group will visit the historic Archer Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church and cemetery. A country style breakfast will be provided for event participants after the run.
