Finding Flora’s Footsteps: Slavery and Emancipation at Haddonfield’s Indian King Tavern

March 21 @ 2:00 pm EDT

A young woman named Flora – an enslaved worker at the tavern – was manumitted by tavern-keeper Hugh Creighton in 1791, shortly after his retirement. But what became of Flora after she was freed? And what can we learn about the fates of other formerly enslaved South Jersey residents after manumission?

The Indian King Tavern Historic Site is proud to present a three-part panel presentation which will explore new and ongoing research on these questions.

Presentation at 2 pm at the Indian King Tavern

233 E. Kings Hwy, Haddonfield
