To locals the history of the Underground Railroad is not unknown. A terminus for slaves was located in the Samuel Cuyler home in the area of present-day
With the discovery of these “underground” tunnels in Sodus
Point, Marti Tertinek, a resident of the “point”, thought it would be a
fun winter project to create an “Underground Railroad Sampler Quilt” designed
by Eleanor Burns. She gained the sponsorship of the Neighborhood
Association of Sodus Point and acquired the technical help of “The Quilting
Bee”, in Sodus, to create a 16-Block quilt. With the help of 8-9 friends,
a beautiful quilt was created.
Marti will present a little bit of the history of the “quilt
code”, the “Underground Railroad”, some facts, some legend, and, of course, the
exhibition of the actual quilt itself on Wednesday, March 9 (note change of
date) at 7 PM in Gates Hall. The public
is invited to this free program after which refreshments will be served.
