History Hunters On the Prowl



THE JOHNSON HOUSE

The 5th grade walked in the footsteps of the Freedom Seekers yesterday at the Johnson House.  The Johnson House was a real stop on the Underground Railroad about 150 years ago! Even Harriet Tubman passed through the walls of this amazing National Landmark! Students explored the secret stairway to the "attic" and listened intently as guides told the stories of the rough journey from the South. I believe all walked away with a sense of awe and humility towards the Freedom Seekers. The students expressed feelings of  appreciation  for all of the freedoms and opportunities we have today.
