Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and calls upon us to remember that legacy. Like so many things, our neighborhoods are rich in history connected to both abolitionism and the legacy of slavery, and at Village Preservation, we’ve made a priority of connecting the public to those sometimes-forgotten elements of our past. 

So this Juneteenth, we’re offering you a guide to some of the many sites in our neighborhood connected to the history of slavery in our country as well as the efforts to abolish it.
