About: The Rochester-Monroe County Freedom Trail Commission serves as the local authority in support of state and national efforts to document, protect and preserve sites and information pertaining to the Underground Railroad in the Rochester area.
Many Monroe County locations were used as safe-houses to shelter slaves before they were placed on boats to cross Lake Ontario. The primary Monroe County route was from Henrietta to Rochester. Better known stations in the area include the Henry Quinby farm by Mendon Ponds Park, the old Frederick Douglass home near Highland Park, and the Harvey Humphrey, Esp. house at 669 Genesee Street.
