The Jackson Homestead was a stop on the Underground Railroad. In the basement there is a root cellar which was once used to hide runaway slaves as they made their way north to Canada and freedom. In another program the Underground Railroad is vividly presented to students through stories and pictures. A journal kept by one of the nineteenth century Jackson children is displayed. It actually mentions the Underground Railroad and the Homestead's part in that remarkable event.
Children can see other artifacts dealing with slavery.
They can also peer into the original root cellar where runaway slaves were hidden so long ago. I liked the root cellar where they hid the slaves.
