In 1877, a group of former Kentucky slaves established the town of Nicodemus in Graham County, Kansas. These "exodusters" made the arid plains their home and became farmers, teachers, cowboys, and soldiers. Join a National Park Service Ranger as they tell the story of this unique community and the people who went so far for freedom. This program will be held virtually using Zoom.
