Searching for Timbuctoo: a film by Paul A. Miller

  • Gerrit Smith Estate National Historic Landmark 5304 Oxbow Rd. Peterboro, NY (map)

Searching for Timbuctoo tells the little-known story of a Black settlement, established in the wilds of upstate New York, that brought together a group of ardent abolitionists willing to risk their fortunes, their families, and their futures to destroy slavery. Little did they know that by coming together, they would help tear the nation apart.
