Abolition Road; an annual walk honoring the past and inspiring the future&nbsp; Abolitionists walked&hellip;On October 21,1835, several hundred abolitionists met in Utica, NY to form New York State&rsquo;s first abolitionist society. When a violent mob interrupted the proceedings, the undaunted abolitionists heeded Gerrit Smith&rsquo;s call to resume their meeting at Peterboro&#39;s Presbyterian Church. Many traveled by lumber barge on the Erie Canal, by cart, and on foot. They walked 9 miles uphill from Canastota to Peterboro where their efforts to collectively organize were finally realized. Because of their determined journey, the New York State Antislavery Society was born.&nbsp; Peterboro was - and is - sacred ground for the abolition movement.
