A passageway hidden below a dresser at the Merchant’s House Museum had long been a mystery. Then researchers learned that the home’s original builder was an abolitionist.
A home in Ohio sits along a critical stretch of what was once part of the Underground Railroad.

Roger Peterson now owns the home and says its history "helped shape the nation." #UndergroundRailroad #BlackHistoryMonth #CenterBrookManor
