Mayhew Cabin, Underground Railroad station in Nebraska City, US
The Mayhew Cabin stands as a simple wooden structure built from cottonwood logs, featuring original stone foundation and period-specific furnishings inside.
Allen and Barbara Mayhew constructed this cabin in 1854, which later became a crucial stop for enslaved people seeking freedom through the Underground Railroad.
The cabin represents early settler life and the resistance against slavery, serving as Nebraska's first site recognized by the National Park Service's Network to Freedom.
The museum is currently closed due to flooding damage, but visitors can access the Network to Freedom Underground Railroad Trail brochure and map online.
The cabin includes a reconstructed cellar and tunnel system that demonstrates the hidden pathways used by individuals escaping slavery in the 1850s.
