Reviews
"Woodlawn Manor Cultural Park provides a historical representation of what it was like to navigate some of terrain that a runaway slave would have encountered. Along this roughly 4-mile path you'll find markers that lend further explanation to the tactics which were employed to hide and evade capture. I would definitely recommend this trail for those who desire a relatively easy walk with some history attached."
"The Manor house is closed until further notice. They don't mention this on the main page of their website. They expect you to find this out from a small plaintext warning on one of the subpages. Most websites like this would say that one of their main facilities is closed with a big banner across the top rather than expecting you to read every word on every subpage to find that out. They do not seem inclined to correct this issue when given constructive feedback about webpage design. The staff also did not tell us the manor house was closed when they charged us. They charge the same amount as when the house is open."
"Country beauty in a simple, historical setting. The trail is an easy walk, and the signs and accompanying brochure are useful for visualizing what must have been a harrowing journey for freedom-seeking runaway slaves along the Underground Railroad."
"A great place for families. Children enjoy places filled with a variety of interesting fun filled, fact filled historical and cultural significance. Full disclosure: I am a Griot and Master Storyteller who performed at Woodland Manor for Black History Month. The staff and audience were wonderful. Everyone had a great time and some even learned something new! Can't wait to go back as a Griot, Master Storyteller and visitor. When you go there ask for Mark Thorne and tell him Baba-C sent you."
"I attended the Heritage Days at Woodland Manor. I enjoyed a rainy day hike on the Underground Railroad Trail. Our guide Mike is a history professor. He shared with us educational stories along the trail about ways enslaved people would have navigated the Underground Railroad. We also had an amazing tour of the barn which is now a Quaker Museum about Slavery. Our final stop was the front of the Quaker farmer's house. Dr. William Palmer was the owner of the farm who had 14 enslaved people who lived on the farm."
