Civil War to Civil Rights History Walk
This 90-minute tour highlights historic events that reveal both Oberlin's progress and setbacks in race relations dating from early Oberlin all the way up to the 21st Century. Learn how Oberlin was a leader in abolition, participating heavily in events such as the Oberlin-Wellington Rescue, the Raid on Harpers Ferry, and the American Civil War, but also struggled with
its own issues of equality and racism during these early years and later through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Civil Rights, and today.
Tour meets on the front steps of First Church at the corner of Main St. (Rt. 58) and Lorain St. (Rt. 511)
