Presentation transcript:

Although the Hudson River Valley played a vital role in both the continuing of slavery and the Underground Railroad, the village of Catskill boasts only passed-along rumors and stories of involvement with the Railroad; however, Catskill was involved to some extent with the institution of slavery, and therefore figures into this element of Hudson Valley history.

No conclusive evidence to support definitive existence The experts say… Possible locations  1690 House  Pole House/Athens Rejected possibilities What conclusion can we draw?

Despite the fact that slavery and the Underground Railroad did not have as strong an impact on Catskill as it did many other parts of the Hudson River Valley, slavery did exist there and is a part of the town's background. There is no one site that can prove the definitive existence of the Underground Railroad, but there is speculation that there may have been some action with the railroad that passed through the region, and hopefully this speculation will one day be proven true. Overall, the village of Catskill was affected by the institution of slavery and its impact should be remembered.
