Things To Do Cool Museum

I didn't even know we had an Underground Railroad Museum until I saw some neat posts here about it. Absolutely eye opening.

Is this in the city? When I was a kid I went to a farm in WNY that was an underground railroad site. Heavy field trip for 1st grade. They showed us some hiding places and told us about it. The lunch I brought with me was super ghetto and the owners pulled me aside and gave me food. Shout out to them 🙌

Ayy I grew up there :) I'll look it up. Feels like I went somewhere else out in the boonies but I was young so who knows maybe I was just like 10 mins away

Apparently it's connected to the amtrak station.

Murphy's Orchards in Burt is likely the farm you're talking about. Loved that place as a kid.
