📍 The Freedom Trail on Roanoke Island, NC
🌳 Opened in Manteo on June 2024 to honor the Roanoke Island Freedmen’s Colony—a Civil War–era refuge where more than 3,000 formerly enslaved people built a new beginning.
🥾 This 2.5-mile path [1.25 miles each way] winds through forest starting near the Elizabethan Gardens to Freedmen’s Point on the Croatan Sound
🕊️ 8 interpretive signs with 9 life‑sized steel silhouettes, each celebrating individuals from the colony

🔸 Annice Jackson, Marie Ferribee, Alice Ferribee – The first trio you meet. Annice led herself and her daughters to freedom and to Roanoke Island, where the girls received their first formal education.
🔸 Thomas Robinson – Born enslaved on Roanoke Island, Thomas rowed to the Union Army on Hatteras Island and shared key intel that helped plan the Battle of Roanoke Island.
🔸 London Ferebee – Escaped slavery, reunited with his father in New Bern, then came to Roanoke Island where he became a student and later an assistant teacher in the colony.
🔸 Fanny Whitney – Freed by the Union Army in Hyde County, Fanny and her family made their way to Roanoke Island.
🔸 Spencer Gallop – After working for Union forces on Roanoke Island, Spencer enlisted in the 36th U.S.C.T., becoming one of the Army’s first Black soldiers.
🔸 Sarah Freeman – A missionary teacher who opened schools and helped educate and uplift the newly freed residents of the colony.
🔸 Jimmy Banks – A young boy in the colony who was taken in by Sarah Freeman after losing his parents. He later moved with her to Indianapolis after the war.
