The Kansas Town Built for Slaves Who Dared Dream
Along the banks of the Missouri River, there is a cluster of ruins that offer a powerful example of the human spirit’s determination and ability to transcend injustice. The Quindaro Ruins are the remains of a Kansas town established in 1856 by New England abolitionists who provided assistance for slaves in Missouri looking to escape to freedom in Kansas.
