Spent two days here for the annual “Homecoming.” This place aka The Elgin Settlement, was the largest & most successful of the black settlements born out of the influx of freedom seekers who came to Canada on the Underground Railroad. It is rare to find intact buildings from this era. The schoolhouse, church & museum are the legacy of this amazing community. We had a wonderful time at Homecoming & will return.

The tour guides are so very knowledgeable of the history the black slaves who settled in Canada. It was good to hear the stories be told in hopes for it to never repeat itself wver again. It would be wise if the school boards partnered with the Buxton National museum to educate our future generation the same way they do with educating youths about the holocaust of the Jewish people.
