Our history
Land Acknowledgment
Read our college's land acknowledgment here, which recognizes the original inhabitants of the earth on which our campus rests and their continued relationship with this land.
Burlington County Underground Railroad Museum
Known as the "Cradle of Emancipation," Burlington County offers the Underground Railroad Museum at historic Smithville Park.
The Burlington County Underground Railroad Museum traces the struggle for freedom from pre-slavery Africa. The museum has many authentic artifacts that have a shocking effect on attendees. The museum documents racial injustice and honors activities, including abolitionists and modern Black successes.
Rowan College at Burlington County has documented the contributions of the late Louise Calloway, the museum's original curator, so that future generations can benefit from her knowledge. Please visit the college's YouTube channel to learn more.
