Tour and history walk descriptions
1:30 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.
This history walk is being offered in conjuncture with Oberlin College Parents Weekend.
Advance registration is required, and space is limited to 20 participants.
MEET ON THE FRONT STEPS OF FIRST CHURCH, CORNER OF MAIN
AND LORAIN STREETS (RT. 58 AND RT. 511)
In case of rain at start time, the tour will be cancelled, and fees refunded.
