Help Preserve History at a Critical Time - The Peter Mott House Needs Tour Guides
Thursday, March 06, 2025
At a time when history is being challenged, rewritten, and even erased, the work of African American museums is more vital than ever. The Peter Mott House, a documented stop on the Underground Railroad in Lawnside, New Jersey, seeks dedicated volunteers to serve as docents. This historic home, once the residence of abolitionist Peter Mott and his wife Elizabeth, stands as a testament to the fight for freedom and justice.
As efforts to limit discussions of African American history grow, places like the Peter Mott House become even more essential in preserving the truth. Tour guides play a key role in guiding visitors and sharing the powerful narratives of those who risked everything to escape bondage. No experience is needed—just a passion for truth, justice and history. We provide training to help you lead meaningful tours for school groups, families and visitors eager to learn.
This is more than volunteering; it’s a stand against erasure. It’s a commitment to ensuring that future generations understand the struggle and resilience of African Americans in the pursuit of freedom. Click the button below to volunteer.
