The farm—where the Caroline County slaves worked.

Berry Farm is a historic site in Denton, Maryland, an NPS Network to Freedom. The farm—where the Caroline County slaves worked. The archive files it under Underground Railroad history, the Underground Railroad and African American history. The dossier holds 3 documented facts — the record is history-forward, no paranormal claims on file. The site is open to visitors.

Berry Farm is the plantation's edge — the 1,300 acres on the Potomac, the Jacob Shaw escape that left it. The 1840 flight was the documented one — the shoemaker who ran from Thomas Berry, the Oxon Cove Park that keeps the story. The network was the context — the Caroline County corridor, the Quakers and the free Blacks who helped.
The plantation is the record — the enslaved labor that built it, the farm that was the 1,300 acres. The escape is the remembered — the shoemaker's flight, the Network to Freedom listing. Berry Farm is the UGRR's Maryland — the plantation that the shoe maker left, the park that preserves the path.
The file keeps Berry Farm: the 1,300 acres, the 1840 Shaw escape, and the park's interpretation.
Berry Farm is the archive's Maryland file — the plantation with the documented escape.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Berry Farm is the archive's Maryland file — the escape's starting point.
A farm keeps its runaway — the file's suggestion being that Berry's hold is the documented flight: the shoemaker who left in 1840, the Potomac plantation, and the park that tells it.
