Summary

[edit]
Description
English: New Philadelphia National Historic Site, Pike County, Illinois. The sign reads, "Guidepost 1 - Map of Philadelphia, Hadley Township - Free Frank [McWorter] and Free Lucy came to Illinois in 1830, bringing with them four of their seven children. Their son Solomon and eldest daughters, Juda and Sarah, remained in bondage in Kentucky. Solomon's freedom was purchased in 1835. Free Frank platted New Philadelphia the following year, in hopes that the sale of lots would fund the purchase of his daughters' freedom. By this time, Juda and Sarah had children of their own, and they too lived in slavery. Point the New Philadelphia AR Tour app at this Virtual Guidepost"
