The Mid-Hudson Antislavery History Project (MHAHP) was formed in 2006 to research the history of antislavery in the
Mid-Hudson Valley, with emphasis on the Underground Railroad; to interpret this history and share these interpretations with a wide array of residents and visitors, in particular, students and youth; and to place this history in the contexts of racial slavery in the New World, the African-American experience, and the legacies of antislavery today, including the impact of this historic grassroots movement on subsequent struggles for racial and social justice.

We welcome participants and supporters of all backgrounds to join us! Our main website resides at the Hudson River Valley Institute; our research reports and other information can be found there. The purpose of this site is to foster communication within our group, and let newcomers know about our news, plans, and events. Our meetings are open to all, and this site is open to anyone who wishes to explore our work or join our group.
