About: On October 22, 1835, the first complete meeting of the New York State Anti- Slavery Society was held in this building, a Presbyterian church built in 1820. The church also hosted the society's state convention in 1842. At this meeting, Smith encouraged the slave to take what is absolutely essential to your escape, the horse, the boat, the food, the clothing, which you require.
