Cape May was part of the Underground Railroad and this trolley tour, which is part of the National Park Service's Network to Freedom, and also one of just 13 sites nationwide on the Park Service's Travels with Tubman app, tells of those dangerous days. Enslaved persons fled their captors in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia and braved strong currents and stormy seas, guided by the beacon at the Cape May Lighthouse. Hear how legendary anti-slavery fighter, Harriet Tubman, walked these streets, as did prominent railroad businessman and former enslaved person, Stephen Smith, whose railroad cars carried hundreds to freedom. Begins and ends at Ocean Street Trolley Stop and travels through parts of Cape May, Lower Township and West Cape May, with stops along the way, including the Mt. Zion Cemetery. Trolley tour co-sponsored by Center for Community Arts (CCA) and Cape May MAC. Portions of this tour are not accessible.
