The Underground Railroad catagory is now up for peer review. Please look it over and vote

Another good catagory. I just voted 'yea' and will have a couple to add when it is up.

I have started the Underground Railroad group and would welcome anyone interested in joining. description/mission statement: The Underground Railroad group is being established to help document, research, and promote the thousands of sites that made up the informal network of safe houses, or "stations" along the various routes of the Underground Railroad, which helped thousands of slaves find their way to freedom. Follow OpinioNate's link and let me know if this would be a catagory you would support. If so please vote when it gets to peer review.

It seems to me that there is no one site to find a list of sites. The Ohio Historical Society lists 3 of its properties as being UGRR sites and none of them are on the National Park Service site. It is my hope that by listing both sites with markers and those with out, it might stimulate research into those with out and more UGRR sites will get the markers and recognition they deserve.

Hello to all, I am brand new to all of this but would be very interested in managing an Undergound Railroad site catagory. There are thousands of sites in the U.S and Canada that should have their locations recorded and available in their own catagory. Anyone interested, please help me get this catagory established. Thanks!
