In the presentation at the Chesapeake City Library, I will expose and then dispose of myths and folktales that have accumulated over the years about the Underground Railroad, share what historians have learned about it in recent studies, and include my own research in the region. In 2014, I conducted two studies on UGRR routes through Cecil County on the request of the National Park Service’s Network to Freedom program, and I was able to verify the importance of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad at Perryville and the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. For the Chesapeake City audience, I will emphasize stories related to the canal, and for the Perryville audience at Perryville Library on February 17 at 7, I will emphasize the railroad stories.

I assume Chesapeake City is on the Chesapeake Canal as you say "For the Chesapeake City audience, I will emphasize stories related to the canal." Thus, are you saying Chesapeake City was a stop on the Underground Railroad?
