If you've been looking for an opportunity to give back to the community while learning about important historic events, then here's your chance. The New York Capital Chapter of the AGA is looking for volunteers to help with gardening/yard clean-up/light maintenance/fence removal for the Underground Railroad History Project of the Capital Region (URHPCR).
URHPCR, Inc. is a non profit organization. Its mission is to celebrate the history of courage and cooperation among our communal ancestors. For more information about URHPCR, please visit their website at http://www.ugrworkshop.com/.
On Saturday, June 6, at 9am, the URHPCR will provide AGA volunteers with a brief tour and information about the significance of the property that we will be cleaning up. The location site is 194 Livingston Avenue, Albany, NY (Stephen and Harriet Myers Residence, a documented Underground Railroad site). No experience necessary. If you have your own gardening tools, please bring. If not, tools will be provided. Dress in clothing that you do not mind getting a little dirty. Refreshments will be provided.
We are looking for volunteers interested in contributing their time to enhance an important historic site.
Interested individuals should contact:
