Step beyond the guidebook and discover the lesser known stories of Cumberland on this hosted Hidden History Walk with Angie in the Mountains. We will explore the Gordon Roberts house that is a grand 1860's Victorian Mansion that is now preserved as a historic museum showcasing upper class life. Then, we walk down to Episcopal Church and explore the underground tunnels beneath the church that are believed to be linked to the Underground Railroad era movement.
This relaxed, small-group walking experience explores tucked-away corners, overlooked landmarks, and fascinating local stories that most visitors (and even many locals) miss. Along the way, you’ll hear layered history, surprising details, and behind-the-scenes context that bring the city’s past to life.
Expect a conversational pace photo opportunities and time for questions. This is not a lecture, it’s a story-rich, on-the-ground experience designed to help you see Cumberland with fresh eyes.
