We’re opening the property to the public for a tour of the historic 1820 farmhouse, stables, and barn. 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.
