Spring Hill's annual *Underground Railroad Experience* will be held on
Saturday, June 16 as part of Juneteenth, a holiday started in 1865 to
celebrate the end of slavery in America.  Participants will tour Spring
Hill grounds as if they are escaped slaves. Costumed interpreters will tell
the story of slavery, the Underground Railroad, and Spring Hill's
participation in assisting slaves escape to freedom.
