Connecticut’s story of freedom has some remarkable – but overlooked – chapters. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll trace the exact parade route taken by the brave men of the 29th and 30th Connecticut Coloured Regiments as they returned from the Civil War on November 24, 1865. Along the way, you’ll discover how these soldiers fought valiantly despite lower pay, discrimination, and the knowledge that they could face execution if captured by Confederate forces. The tour starts at Connecticut’s Old State House on Central Row, where the regiments stood as Governor Buckingham honoured their bravery. You’ll hear the stories of remarkable soldiers like Private Isaac J. Hill, who published a memoir documenting the regiment’s experiences. You’ll also learn how Frederick Douglass visited the regiments’ camp, declaring them “pioneers of the liberty of your race.” The tour ends back at Connecticut’s Old State House.
