“honoring the deaths of Freed Slaves”
This area honors former freed slaves that were buried in what was the "Freedman's" town in the 1850s. It was the social and economic center of the African-American community at the time. An arched granite gate now stands at the site entrance. Niches on either side contain symbolic sculptures by David Newton. Admission is free.
