African American Heritage
Goshen Farm is committed to honoring and sharing African American history and culture in Anne Arundel County. Our African American Heritage Committee, led by Linda Páez, works to uncover the stories of those who lived and worked on this land, ensuring their contributions are recognized and remembered.
Goshen Farm has recently been awarded recognition as an official site of the Underground Railroad by the National Park Service Network to Freedom.
