Michigan Freedom Trail Connects 11 Underground Railroad Sites

Several regional destinations highlight the appeal of history-focused travel. La Grange, Kentucky, is noted for its expansive historic downtown, Victorian-era buildings and freight trains that still pass through town. In Mooresburg, Tennessee, the Homeplace Bed & Breakfast marks 30 years of welcoming guests to a historic family home with roots in the 19th century. Michigan’s Underground Railroad sites—including homes, churches and a former school—offer visitors a way to explore the people and places that helped freedom seekers travel north. South Pittsburg, Tennessee, combines local history and outdoor attractions with food heritage, including the Lodge Museum of Cast Iron and its giant skillet.
