The Underground Railroad, the network that shuttled slaves to freedom, stretched all the way up to the Canadian border. It is estimated that between 30,000 and 100,000 slaves crossed the border to gain their freedom. This tour takes you back to the 19th century, with your guide and others in historical garb, to reveal what the Underground Railroad was like. Hear stories of great intrigue and see many sites that played a pivotal role in giving tens of thousands of people their freedom. This tour also affords you the opportunity to get a regional orientation by combining Underground Railroad sites with general sites of interest (i.e. the Falls) - truly a two for one experience!

We were told a lot of history that I didn’t know. We rode in a comfy small bus
Our guide really had amazing memory that was easy to listen to and stories that kept our interest.

Enjoy the tour guide. He brought a lot of life to history and the struggle of slaves going to Canada for there freedom. He had a lot of knowledge of that time period. I would take the tour again. Thanks

Visiting the McClew farm and seeing the cistern used to hide slaves seeking freedom. The reality of their struggle for what we take for granted hit me so deeply. The depth of their need to be free and what they were willing to do to reach freedom makes your heart beat for them.
