Sites on the Trails
The Starr Hill and Union Ridge trail maps are the first in a series that will form a compendium of information about historical African American neighborhoods in our region.
Please note that many of these sites are private property. Those that cannot be accessed by the public are indicated on the individual trail maps. We greatly appreciate your respect for the private homes, businesses, and properties that are important to telling the African American story in our area.
We are always interested in identifying new sites of interest, and encourage you to share your images, letters and artifacts with us at participate >
