Description
A folk song passed through generations, “Follow the Drinking Gourd” helped enslaved people escape to
freedom with directions hidden in the lyrics. A ranger program explores the song’s navigational clues followed
by a night sky viewing of some of the darkest skies on the Virginia Peninsula.
