Parker Sisters Kidnapping and Rescue

Virtual Program: Live at 5 pm, pre-registration 
Sponsored by: East Nottingham Historical Commission

In December of 1851, Rachel and Elizabeth Parker were kidnapped in separate incidents from the Nottingham area. These two free black young women were taken in order to be sold south into slavery. This story involves the reactions from those on either side of the Mason Dixon Line - tales of compassion, murder, and legal maneuverings.

Later explorations on your own can include three local cemeteries, drive-bys of the abduction sites, Nottingham Park, and the Herr Foods properties.
