The Underground Railroad

The Underground Railroad, Feb. 13-28  Celebrating Black History Month, The Gables is proud to
welcome the public to this special exhibit.  Have you ever wondered if there were North Shore
homeowners involved in the UGRR?  Have you wanted to know more about
the history of the slaves traveling north to escape the agony of slavery?
 There are many connections in our area that link back to the Underground
Railroad. Conductors, abolitionists and free thinkers risked their lives to help
shelter thousands of men, women and children on their path to freedom.
 This exhibit is a collaborated account from the few references known to
define some of the pieces of this amazing American story. Be sure to come and
explore.
