New Philadelphia, Illinois, to become a unit of the National Park Service!

Congress has passed and President Biden is expected to sign a 4,155-page Omnibus Bill containing four pages that establish the New Philadelphia National Historic Site. Thank you for all your support as we worked towards this long-held goal. A national park site will commemorate and contribute to our nation’s march toward freedom. It is a tribute to the legacy of Free Frank and Free Lucy McWorter and their family and community, and all who kept and enriched the memory: local activists and community members, descendants, archeologists and historians, elected officials and many more.
