About this event

Underground Railroad Shuttle Tour

  • Saturday, April 27, 10 am to 12 pm
  • Saturday, April 27, 1 pm to 3 pm

Learn about local, Underground Railroad sites on a shuttle tour with J.E. Robinson Tours and the Great Rivers and Routes Tourism Bureau. The two-hour guided shuttle tours will stop at some of the sites that were part of the Underground Railroad system including Rocky Fork Church, Enos Apartments and more. Alton’s riverfront location along the Mighty Mississippi played a vital role in helping slaves make connections to the freedom of the northern U.S. Buried beneath the streets of Alton and Godfrey, remnants of this period in history still exist. For more information, please contact the Great Rivers and Routes Visitors Bureau at (800) 258-6645. Admission is $25 per person.
