Vermont African-American Heritage Trail
The self-guided Vermont African-American Heritage Trail spans the state, with stops including the Rokeby Museum in Ferrisburgh, a former sheep farm that was part of the Underground Railroad; Middlebury College, where in 1823 Alexander Twilight became the first black person to earn a degree from an American college; and the Constitution House in Windsor, which was a tavern when the first state constitution in America to ban slavery was signed there. Trail guides and maps can be downloaded from the website.
