AUGUSTA — Quilter Helen Neff of Winthrop will make a presentation on quilts used to communicate with slaves traveling along the Underground Railroad at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 6, at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 2 Summer St.
Quilts were believed to have been used to direct runaway slaves on their journey north, from South Carolina up through Maine and into Canada. Neff’s presentation will also include information on slave spirituals, with piano accompaniment by Caro Kaiser.
The program is free of charge and handicapped accessible. For more information, call 622-2424.
