Oberlin Village Heritage 5K

All proceeds from the Oberlin Village Heritage 5K will support the Friends of Oberlin Village in raising public awareness and preserving Oberlin’s rich history, contributions, and achievements.

The mission of the Friends of Oberlin Village is to preserve, protect, and honor the establishment of Oberlin Village through community awareness, outreach, and education. Friends of Oberlin Village is a non-profit volunteer-run 501(c)(3) organization honoring Oberlin Village, the only surviving freedman’s village in North Carolina that grew out of a Free Black settlement during Reconstruction. Our love of history, education, and humanity has enabled our humble and steadfast group to elevate the preservation, recognition, and education of Oberlin Village locally and nationally.
