Chloe Cooley’s brave act of resistance on 14 MAR 1793, paved the way to freedom for so many Black enslaved men, women and children like her. This set the stage for the great freedom movement of enslaved African Americans known as the Underground Railroad. We will hike to where her bravery took place. This hike will take us along the General Brock Side Trail (GBST) and on then on the Niagara Parkway (NP). The GBST’s terrain is hilly/moderate, whereas the NP is flat/easy. We will then retrace our steps back.The terrain may be icy and/or snow covered. Hiking poles and icers are advised, depending on the conditions.
PLEASE NOTE: This hike counts as 1 of the 3 required hikes towards the Black History badge. If you will have hiked 3 hikes in this series, and are interested in receiving a badge, remember to bring your $10. This applies to anyone who has not already received this badge.
