The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, is just yards away from the Ohio River, a significant location that separated the Northern states from the Southern slave states. Since opening in 2004, the center tells the stories of the challenges and courage it took to help slaves find their way to the non-slave states of the North. This iconic and moving museum is ideal for kids young and old. It features murals, quilts, and a slave pen to show how slaves were held. In addition to teaching about African American slave history, the center encourages activism against modern-day human trafficking as well.
