The Underground Railroad- Photography
The Underground Railroad- Photography
Based on our Midwest location, we are likely surrounded by many stops for the Underground Railroad. (read about the Levi Coffin house here).
One dark fall afternoon, we spent the better part of a day tracking down a tip on the location of a cabin of literary inspiration.
The famous book Uncle Tom’s Cabin, an anti-slavery novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, includes a character named Eliza.
A true runaway slave named Eliza Harris stopped at this cabin while escaping to Canada.
She is said to have become an inspiration for Stowe.
We were comforted by the lack of commercialism and the respect that locals must have for keeping it hidden.
It is a treasure; and hopefully, these pictures honor the legacy of the Underground Railroad and the people who work so diligently to preserve its memory.
