Ohio's newest historical trail pays tribute to the Underground Railroad and the people and places that connected the movement. The Ohio Department of Development and TourismOhio are officially launching the Ohio Historical Underground Railroad Trail.
"We've created this new trail to show both visitors and Ohioans how to learn more about Ohio’s history as an important connector on the Underground Railroad," says Gov. Mike DeWine in a release. "It is important that we remember the legacy and impact of the Underground Railroad on this country, as well as Ohio's prominent role in its operation."
The trail encompasses 15 stops across the state. Locally stops include the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, the Harriet Beecher Stowe House in Walnut Hills, the John Rankin House and the John Parker House in Ripley, and the Ross-Gowdy Museum in New Richmond.

There were a lot of secret ways slaves used to escape. Often the words of a song gave directions to the next place. I’m glad I don’t live in that world.
