On September 11, 1851, the nation was shocked by the standoff between Baltimore County slave holder, Edward Gorsuch and freedom seekers in Christiana, Pennsylvania, known as the Christiana Resistance. This complex series of events culminated in the largest treason trial in U.S. history. Join us for a virtual presentation by guest speaker, Dr. Iris Barnes on Tuesday, February 8, 2022 at 12:30 pm to learn about the roots of this pivotal event in Harford County’s Belle Vue Farm.
