Frederick Douglass Remembers Ulysses S. Grant

Tomorrow, in commemoration of Juneteenth, historical interpreter Nathan M. Richardson brings his portrayal of abolitionist Frederick Douglass to Grant Cottage in Wilton, New York in a conversation about Ulysses S. Grant.

I visited the cottage a few years ago, and it was hands down the best historical site tour I’ve ever been on. I am looking forward to this event, which will be held tomorrow, from 1 to 2pm.

All Grant Cottage programs are free and open to the public and donations are greatly appreciated.

Directions:

• From the South:
• Take the Adirondack Northway (I-87) north to exit 16 toward Ballard Rd/Wilton/Corinth.
• Turn left ojnto Ballard Rd. (CR-33) toward Wilton/Corinth.
• Go for about 1 1/2 miles.
• Continue on Corinth Mountain Rd (CR-33).
• Turn right onto Parkhurst Rd. Continue on Mt. McGregor Rd. The cottage is almost two miles.
• GPS address: 1000 Mt. McGregor Rd., Wilton, NY 12831

See you there!
