Prince Walker of Barre - From Enslaved to Landowner
Born to an enslaved family in Barre, Massachusetts in June 1774 Prince Walker spent much of his life on a homestead that is now part of the Ware River Watershed. Although known mainly as the much younger brother of Quock Walker (whose suit to attain personal freedom was instrumental in freeing all enslaved people in Massachusetts) Prince Walker led a remarkable life. Join Lucy Allen from the Barre Historical Society as she presents on his trek to freedom and financial independence.
