Event Website/Tickets  

The Harriet Tubman Journey to Freedom statue, depicting the famed abolitionist on a harrowing rescue mission, is coming to the Amherstburg Freedom Museum. The large bronze sculpture, designed in 2019 by artist Wesley Wofford, evokes the “ceaseless struggle for freedom, and will serve as a focal point for participants to reflect, engage and unite.” This is happening as part of the Freedom Walk 2026 tour, a modern-day retracing of the Underground Railroad to Canada, led by historian Anthony Michael Cohen. The Amherstburg event will also feature history highlights, free museum admission, and at 11 am the Canadian premiere of the short film Camp Delaware, followed by a panel discussion by filmmakers Francine and Mark Butler. The film explores the experiences of an African American Civil War regiment.

July 11th Amherstburg – Amherstburg Freedom Museum, 10:00 am-1:00 pm Free event. Everyone is welcome!
