Underground Railroad

Guilford College is the steward of land and stories about the Underground Railroad. The land Guilford sits on was once a site of some of the most inspiring and challenging stories of the struggle for abolition, involving Freed and Enslaved Africans, White Quakers, Native People, and others who built a multi-racial, multi-species coalition of freedom. Our tour consists of telling some of these stories and taking people back to our majestic “Underground Railroad Tree,” a poplar that is at least 300 years old and was witness to these events.
