Talk:Underground Railroad Bicycle Route
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As it relates to the underground railroad in Kentucky, my grandmother was proud of the fact that her girlhood home in Cropper, Kentucky, was a part of the "railroad." Similar to many houses of that time, hers was a two story brick house with a side porch and a gable that extended over the porch. It had a "fan" shaped window. On the inside of the house, there was a false wall with a fan shaped window to make it appear that it was actually the outside wall. Slaves would hide in that small area.
