See Hill-Ross Homestead as we prepare for Spring. The chickens are out-and-about, the barn is in full swing with seedlings ready to plant. And Classic Colonial Homes has just finished renovating their carriage house office- all are available to see during the April Spring tour.
During each tour, you’ll learn the history of the home, the legacy of the property, it’s role on the underground railroad and the families that are apart of its history. Book now to learn more. There will be light refreshments for purchase and a souvenir of your visit.
We’re opening the house to the public for a tour of the historic 1820 farmhouse on Meadow Street. Its importance rests in its significance as the site of a utopian community called The Association that operated there from 1841 to 1845, and for its use as a site on the Underground Railroad. Famous African American members of the Association include Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and Sojourner Truth, who was a resident of Florence for many years. Entry is $40 per person at the door.
