John Freeman Walls was a slave in North Carolina who planned to leave North Carolina for Detroit in order to escape oppression. Instead, Walls made his way to Amherstburg, Ontario in 1846 where he and his family worked for the abolishment of slavery and helped many slave fugitives begin new lives in Canada. This museum and historic site commemorates both Walls and the escape route system used to help slaves see freedom: the Underground Railway. Providing an engaging and informative experience, John Freeman Walls Historic Site and Underground Railroad Museum is managed by Walls' descendants, who do both him and this attraction justice in their commitment to preserving history.
