Special guest
Honorable Boyd Rutherford, Lt. Governor of Maryland, who helped facilitate the project.
The building, a former “slave quarters”, relates events in Caroline County that led to William Still becoming the “Father of the Underground Railroad” in America.
The site also interprets the harsh lives of tenant farmers in the early 19th century as well as Indian-settler conflicts in the 17th century.
Wasn’t there a william still foundation run by his descendants? If yes, is it still in existence? How can I contact the family? Please reply thank you
I believe there is a foundation established by the family that is still in operation. ( https://freedomcenter.org/ )
Hello I want to know if this site is open for visitation
The house underwent restoration for years, and opened to the public in May 2022. Onsite signage tells the stories of the site from the time of Algonquin Indians, early commercial agriculture, and the William Still family connection. A glass rear door allows visitors to see inside the restored historic dwelling. The building does not offer any visiting hours, but visitors are welcome sunrise to sunset to view the building and peek through the glass door to see inside.
It is located at 4-H Park, 8230 Detour Road, Denton, MD 21629
