Discovering The Story Of The Underground Railroad At The National Underground Railroad Museum
The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes, safe houses, and individuals who helped escaped slaves reach freedom during the 19th century. It is estimated that approximately 100,000 slaves were able to escape using the Underground Railroad. However, it was a dangerous and challenging journey, and many lives were lost along the way. The National Underground Railroad Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio, is dedicated to preserving and sharing the story of the individuals who fought against slavery and those who escaped through the Underground Railroad.
