We spent the afternoon at an amazing Underground Railroad Museum. It was in a house that actually operated as part of the Railroad.
We saw quilts with codes sewn into the patterns, artifacts from the era, and the crawlspace where runaways hid. It was less than a foot high, so the people literally had to crawl to get through, and had to stay that way for hours. Possibly days. Really eye-opening experience!
