Join us in celebrating "Quock Walker Day," a holiday honoring the Barre man whose actions were instrumental in freeing all enslaved persons in Massachusetts in 1783.

Prince Walker was Quock's much younger brother. While Quock's actions were beneficial to most enslaved people in Massachusetts, Prince, only 9 years old, was sold into slavery in Connecticut. Lucy Allen, Historian, highlights Prince’s long life (1774-1858) and journey from enslavement to becoming a landowner in Barre.

Please note: The location and time of this event is still being determined. Please check back for more information.
