*Disclaimer*
This project is a work in progress, meaning that enhancements will be made as funds are raised. A short walking trail (Hattie's Trail) has been established thanks to the Chesapeake Bay Trust. Work on the capital improvement phase of the site will begin soon utilizing funds from the Maryland Historical Trust. Hattie's Trail is now open to the public. There is no admission fee, and parking on site is free. No smoking or beverages of any kind are permitted on the property.
Our Mission
Our purpose is to establish and to preserve a Buffalo Soldier Living History location on property purchased by and lived on by a Buffalo Soldier who was born and raised in Allen, Maryland. Allen is a subdivision of Eden. The site will be used to educate both the local and broader communities as to the valor and courage of Black American soldiers (enlisted in the U.S. Army) who served in the Indian Territories and beyond. These soldiers were vital to the westward expansion of the United States of America. While educating the public locally and nationally, activities to engage the public will foster a sense of respect for the sacrifices made by Buffalo Soldiers and lead to a greater understanding of the many indignities experienced by the soldiers while they served in a segregated U. S. Army.
