Description

Chloe Cooley was a young Black enslaved woman whose brave act of resistance paved the way to freedom for so many like her, and 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, 14 MAR 1793.   This 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.
