SUMMARY:Underground Railroad Marker Dedication Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Three years ago\, the Appalachian Freedom Heritage Tourism Initiative and regional managers with the National Park Service held a panel discussion at Huntington’s A.D. Lewis Center\, announcing the goal to nominate 27 Tri-state area UGRR sites to the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. \nThe AFHTI is excited to announce that the National Park Service recently approved the placement of a UGRR marker celebrating freedom seeker and conductor Asbury Parker\, who initially escaped from Cabell County\, to be added to the National UGRR Network to Freedom. The addition of the Parker site brings the total number of AFHTI-approved Tri-state sites to 26\, including the first three in Cabell County’s history! \nTo honor Parker’s remarkable life\, the AFHTI team cordially invites you to his marker dedication ceremony at Harris Riverfront Park at 11 am on Friday\, June 19th\, coinciding with the federal holiday of Juneteenth\, which commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. \nPlease join other community members committed to preserving Black history\, educating the community on the centrality of the Tri-state region to the UGRR\, and celebrating a brave and intelligent man who risked his life to gain his freedom and that of others!

SUMMARY:Legend Has It Exhibition Reception
DESCRIPTION:Legend Has It – Hosted by the School of Art & Design – On view in the Charles W. & Norma C. Carroll Gallery\, June 15 to July 24\, 2026. \nIn celebration of the U.S. 250th anniversary\, Legend Has It presents quilts that narrate the history of labor\, transportation\, commerce\, and freedom in Cabell County and nearby areas.

After reviewing a wide range of submissions\, jurors selected nearly 25 works for this summer’s exhibition in the Carroll Gallery. \nLegend Has It will be on view in the Charles W. & Norma C. Carroll Gallery from June 15 to July 24\, 2026\, with a public reception on June 19 from 5–7 p.m.\, during the Downtown Art Walk. \nThe galleries are free and open to the community Monday through Friday\, 10 am to 4 pm.
