Lake Erie North Shore, Pelee Island & Black Heritage Route
The Underground Railroad was the greatest freedom movement in the Americas. Early activity in Pennsylvania, circa 1804, documents railroad terminology being used to confuse the slave catchers. A person leading the fugitives to freedom would be known as ‘conductor.’ It would be their responsibility to get the ‘passengers’ (baggage), from one
‘station’ (safe house) to another until they would eventually reach a ‘terminal’ in northern U.S. or Canada.
