“National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is a museum committed to the history of the Underground Railroad. The primary artifact is a two-story, 21 by 30-foot log slave pen with eight small windows, an indigenous stone floor, and a fireplace. National Underground Railroad Freedom Center acknowledges Cincinnati's crucial role in the Underground Railroad's history, as thousands of enslaved individuals sought refuge and freedom by crossing the Ohio River from southern slave states. The Museum pays tribute to all those who worked towards "abolishing human enslavement and securing freedom for all people." Blackburn Architects of Indianapolis, Oregon, and Boora Architects of Portland constructed the museum building. Visitors to the Museum can walk through the holding pen and even touch its walls, creating an immersive experience.”
