 Freedom's Light: A Stop Along the Underground Railroad is a play of hope
and freedom. In the days leading up to the Civil War, helping slaves escape
to freedom became increasingly dangerous - especially in Northern Ohio. Only
the bravest of conductors on the Underground Railroad continued defying
federal orders to stop helping slaves - and Robbins and Eliza Burrell of
Sheffield Village were two of those daring conductors who refused to stop.
Federal marshals raided their home countless times, yet they were never
caught. No one knows how they evaded detection - but Freedom's Light: A Stop
Along the Underground Railroad suggests one possible way as it shares the
story of Nellie as she courageously flees slavery so that her baby could
live in freedom.

 Freedom's Light: A Stop Along the Underground Railroad was written by Kelly
Boyer Sagert and is directed by Rick Fortney. This play is sponsored by the
Lorain County Metro Parks, TrueNorth Cultural Arts, The Morning Journal and
the Lorain County Urban League. French Creek Nature Center is located at
4530 Colorado Ave, Sheffield Village, Ohio 44054.
