Description

New Philadelphia, Illinois was the first town founded by an African American and ex-slave, Frank McWorter in 1836. It was an integrated community that became a key stop on the Underground Railroad. The pre-recorded presentation from the Civil War Museum combines history, archaelogy and genealogy to bring Frank's story to life.
