Asserting Freedom: A Black History Tour in Hancock, NH
Tour Guide: Eric Aldrich
Hancock, a quintessential New England village, defies the march of time. At first glance, this little village seems to be slumbering away quite peacefully. However, buried just beneath the Colonial veneer of this seemingly all white town is a vibrant history of early Black settlers who worked, bought land, built homes, challenged the church and struggled for freedom. On this tour you will learner about formerly enslaved people of warner including Jack Ware and members of the Due family. You will also hear the story about the abolitionist meeting at the Town Hall.
