“Andre, I wanted to thank you for a wonderful field trip today. I really appreciate the effort you and your team put into making the Amistad & Underground Railroad Walking Tour informative and engaging for 5th graders. I have been on some version of this field trip about 20 times in my career, and I will say that the current version of the trip is the best one!” – Judy Muirhead, Grade 5 Teacher, West Woods Upper Elementary School

“Although I have lived and worked on Main Street since 2008, I was amazed at how much Farmington history I did not know. The FHS Farmington Freedom Trail tour was well organized, insightful and left me thinking more deeply about our town. The re-enactors brought authentic enthusiasm to the sharing and re-telling of Farmington history and made it feel real. I will highly recommend this tour going forward.” – Michael Bergin, CFO/COO, Miss Porter’s School

Deming made space available over his store for sleeping quarters when the Mende Africans first arrived. Throughout their stay, that space also served as their classroom.
