For the third year, The Black History Month in a Year Project has placed lawn signs at sites in

Williamson and Sodus where authenticated antebellum underground railroad stations and/or

abolitionist activities took place. Each sign is 24 x 18 inches and includes a QR Code that, when

activated by a smart phone, will take viewers directly to the on-line historical narrative

explaining the site in detail.

The twenty-one stops on the audio tour are primarily homes built prior to The Civil War that

harbored freedom seekers escaping enslavement. In addition, in Sodus the tour includes Freedom

Hill on Lake Road, a mural on the side of the Sodus Pt. Fire Hall and a historic marker

commemorating an 18 th Century Black Community on North Geneva Road. In Williamson,

among the stops are the First Baptist Church and Union Church (aka Gates Hall)/Public Square

in Pultneyville.
