Lives Bound Together: The Washingtons & Ona Marie Judge in NH

July 29, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Sankofa Scholar & Tour Guide: Sonya Martino

During the Spring of 1796, George Washington’s final months in office, Ona Judge, an enslaved woman owned by the First Family, escaped the Executive Mansion in Philadelphia with the aid of that city’s free Black community and made her way to Portsmouth, NH. On this tour, you will hear the true story of Ona’s quest for freedom and the President’s relentless efforts to get her back. See the waterfront where she lands and visit the properties of some of America’s most famous families; the Langdons, Whipples, and Lears, whose stories were bound to hers.
