Join us to get to know the history of Quindaro, now part of Kansas City, Kansas, from its origins as a stop on the Underground Railroad, through its apex as a bustling town of freed slaves and suffragettes. We'll discover how Quindaro served as a shining example of the quest for freedom in an age of oppression. We'll also explore Quindaro's place in national and Kansas history, as well as its continuing legacy today.
