Description
During the years preceding the American Civil War, Boston served as one of the most important stops on the Underground Railroad. Did you know that many of the fugitives escaping from enslavement came to Boston by stowing away on ships from southern ports? Join NPS Ranger Shawn Quigley as we explore the untold stories of men and women making daring escapes to freedom through Boston Harbor.
