About this opportunity
The park will work with a research team to develop a Historic Resource Study of the Blackford House, Ferry Hill, and Bridgeport Community focused on African American History. The research products will provide a comprehensive approach to the study of enslaved and free African American workers in the Maryland community and their role in the local economy and community. A history of the African American experience at Lock 38 and Ferry Hill will result, including possible connections to the Underground Railroad.
