The Freedom Center is located in downtown Cincinnati on the banks of the historic Ohio River. It tells the story of runaway slaves, crossing over the Ohio River on their journey to freedom. Anti-slavery men and women of all backgrounds created a secret network of escape routes that came to be called the Underground Railroad. The museum houses many unique and inspiring exhibits which tell the story of this Underground Railroad and share some of the harrowing experiences of slaves who sacrificed so much to gain their freedom.
Don’t miss the opportunity to join your NGS friends in experiencing how the quest for freedom has changed our country and is still alive today.
