Slavery, illegal in Ohio due to the Northwest Ordinance, is openly practiced throughout the South. The full story is more complex: There are the Ohio Black Codes, Joshua McCarter Simpson and a network of conductors and connectors, all rolled into one state. What do these different elements have to do with the history of the Underground Railroad here in Ohio, and how do they work together? There’s only one way to find out. Come and experience a story of heroes, agency, complicated humanity, and everything in between at The Ohio Underground Railroad.
