Signs celebrate black heritage 0
Underground Railroad routes
New signs are going up in Chatham-Kent celebrating the Underground Railway route - a touring route that celebrates black heritage.
The signs will mark the routes taken by American slaves in the 1880s as they escaped to freedom in Canada.
The three most popular black history sites in Chatham-Kent are in North Buxton, Chatham and Dresden.
The new signs will help tourists to travel from one site to the next and promote the benefits of tourism and heritage.
Once the signs are in place, tourism providers will be publicizing the route.
