    Rare pieces of written, visual, and oral evidence are featured including an 1849 Certificate of Freedom and the purse in which it was carried. The Certificate of Freedom and the purse are owned by Rev. Howard Haywood, of the Myrtle Baptist Church and a Newton resident. His great, great grandmother was a free born African American living in Maryland and passed these items to family members. Newtonites should feel honored to view such an artifact and learn about such an important time in history.
