National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, African American history museum in Cincinnati, United States.
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center spans three pavilions connected by bridges, symbolizing the network of safe houses used during slavery.
The museum opened its doors in 2004 along the banks of the Ohio River, which served as a boundary between slave states and free territories.
Through exhibits and educational programs, the center documents the struggles for freedom in both historical and contemporary contexts across multiple communities.
The museum offers reduced admission prices on the fifth and third Sunday of each month, with guided tours available in English and Spanish.
The center houses a rare wooden slave pen from Kentucky, preserved and relocated to demonstrate the physical conditions of enslaved individuals.
