| About | The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is a museum based on the Underground Railroad history situated in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. The center recognizes the significant role of Cincinnati in the history of the Underground Railroad, as thousands of enslaved people ran away to freedom by crossing the Ohio River from the southern slave states. The historic place pays tribute to all efforts to "abolish human enslavement and secure freedom for all people." The building was constructed by Boora Architects of Portland, Oregon, with Blackburn Architects of Indianapolis. The center's primary artifact is a 21 by 30-foot, two-story log slave pen; the pen has eight small windows, an indigenous stone floor, and a fireplace. Tourists to the museum can walk through the holding pen and touch its walls. |
