The Underground Railroad in the Leatherstocking Region

The Underground Railroad played an important role in helping escaped slaves on their journey to freedom in Canada.  Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass are the two New Yorkers most often associated with the success of the Underground Railroad and Abolition Movement, but many may not know that Cooperstown, Hartwick Seminary, Oneonta, and other local communities played a role that contributed to the success of both movements.
