Louise Calloway, 93, founder of a NJ Underground Railroad Museum, has died. A community celebration of life is planned.

Louise Calloway, 93, the curator and executive director of the Underground Railroad Museum of Burlington County, died after a brief illness on Feb. 8, during Black History Month.

On Sunday, the Willingboro N.J. resident, who also once lived in Canada and in Cameroon, will be remembered at a Celebration of Life memorial service at Soul Anchor of Burlington, during Women’s History Month.

In what some might see as a closing of the circle, Soul Anchor is located at 322 High St. in Burlington City, the same street where Calloway opened the Underground Railroad Coffee Housein 2005.
