Frederick Douglass attended Sardis Chapel when he was an enslaved teenager in St. Michaels. The church figures prominently in his three autobiographies, and the cemetary behind the church holds the graves of several persons discussed in them. Admission free, open seating, first come, first served.
Frederick Douglass dedicated Asbury in 1878, and the lectern he spoke from is still in use today. This special event will be held on Juneteenth as part of the celebration of America's Semiquincentennial. Screenings at 3pm, 6pm, and 7:30pm. Admission free, open seating, first come, first served.
St. Michaels is at the epicenter of the narrative of the enslaved youth of Frederick Douglass. He lived close by the Museum, and the town has a number of historic sites connected with his experience there.
