Escapes on the Underground Railroad JUNE 14th

Sunday, June 14th, 2026 at 5:00 PM Our first seating sold out in day so we added another! Join is for an unforgettable evening of history and dining at Tavern on the Square featuring historic storyteller Bill May and his compelling presentation, Escapes on the Underground Railroad. Journey through Western Pennsylvania and beyond, tracing documented escape routes through Allegheny, Butler, Lawrence, Mercer, Crawford, and Erie Counties to freedom in Canada. Through authentic narratives, historic photographs, and immersive storytelling, Bill brings to life the courageous men and women who risked everything in the pursuit of freedom — including the role of the Tavern itself in this remarkable history. A Butler native and graduate of Westminster College, Bill May is a highly regarded speaker and tour guide whose programs, including those at The Penn Theater, consistently sell out. We invite you to experience this moving and historically rich evening. Ticket price secures a seat. À la carte menu items ( including meatloaf night!) will be available.
