The Great State of Ohio played a tremendous role in the Underground Railroad and the Civil War. Within the confines of these pages you will not only read about the trials and tribulations of how Ohio shaped the Great Nation we are today, but you will discover how the abolition of Slavery by way of the Underground Railroad was accomplished. You will see hundreds of pictures of historical homes and venues that were used to conceal thousands of Slaves attempting to flee the torments of the era. It has been estimated that over 3,000 miles of Underground Railroad trails ran through this great State, including the “100 Steps to Freedom” located on the banks of the Ohio River at the John Rankin House in Ripley. Many of these homes and venues have been preserved and countless are open to the public.
