Peterboro, located in Madison County, New York State, is a historic hamlet with significant importance in American civil rights history. The community was founded in the early 19th century and is particularly notable for its role in the abolitionist movement.
Peterboro was the home of Gerrit Smith, a prominent abolitionist and philanthropist, who made the hamlet an important stop on the Underground Railroad. The community served as a haven for escaped enslaved people and a gathering place for anti-slavery activists.
Today, Peterboro preserves this cultural heritage through the Gerrit Smith Estate National Historic Landmark and the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum, which occupy historic buildings in the hamlet. The site continues to educate visitors about the crucial role this small New York community played in the fight against slavery and the advancement of civil rights in America.
