At Elmwood Cemetery at 2:00 pm, historian Elise Guyette, will visit the graves of some of Burlington’s Black citizens, including those who were Revolutionary War Veterans and some who provided safe harbor to those seeking freedom on the Underground Railroad. A few served powerful people as servants and laborers, while others were skilled barbers, cooks, nurses, and homemakers. All were buried in the northern half of the cemetery, which was segregated at the time it was built. Elise’s research brings to light new facets on a plot more noted for North End notables, such as Frances (Fanny) Allen and John Norton Pomeroy.

Join Preservation Burlington for a walking and talking tour of the Church Street/Downtown neighborhoods. We will convene at the historic Wilson Hotel (c.1815). The Wilson Hotel was formerly the home of Samuel Mills, the publisher of the city’s first successful newspaper, The Sentinel. The graceful Federal style proportions and front door, now at a second floor level due to grade adjustments on Church Street, speak of a long-ago refinement.
