The night is pitch black and you are on the run. You have risked
everything for freedom and the slave hunters are hot on your trail. You’ve nothing to guide you but the flicker of a fading lantern light. That and, of course, the light of the north star.
On April 24th, Project Leadership Grant County's mentees and mentors are invited to take part in the award-winning, immersive history experience, Follow the North Star. This award-winning presentation puts participants in the role of an escaped slave.
Over many years of historical research and development, Conner Prairie has created an experience that gives participants a real idea of what life might have been like for a slave in the search for freedom. It is an interactive glimpse into our shared past that can affect you in ways that reading a book or watching a movie cannot.
The bus for this event will leave from Project Leadership Grant County's offices (505 W. Third St., Marion) at 4:30 p.m. and is expected to return at 10:30 p.m. If you’d like to join us for this special event, please RSVP with Project Leadership at (765) 651-0650 or via email at: llowe@projectleadership.org. Seating for this event is limited and participants will be selected on a first come, first served basis.
