This Ticket is for In Person Attendance Only

Historic Deerfield is pleased to announce a one-day conference, “Engaging with the Legacies of Northern Slavery,” in collaboration with the Witness Stones Project, Inc. to mark the completion of the second phase of installing 35 Witness Stones Memorials™ that honor the enslaved people who lived in the community. In Deerfield, by the mid-eighteenth century over a third of the households on the town’s mile-long street included at least one enslaved person, and the Witness Stone Memorials™ mark the ongoing attempt to recover and share as much as we can about their lives and stories. The invited speakers will share their work on various aspects of slavery’s long legacy in the north.

The program will take place on Saturday, April 5, 2025 at the Deerfield Community Center (DCC) at 16 Memorial Street in Deerfield, Massachusetts. 

In-Person registration: $50 (does not include lunch)
