“Legacy of the Underground Railroad” is an Interactive Learning Platform created to supplement and enhance the experience of our Underground Railroad exhibit at the B&O Railroad Museum.

Through numerous activities, students will be citing evidence, determining central ideas, and analyzing primary sources such as maps, photos, news articles and lyrics from the original song titled “Network to Freedom” composed by the lyricist Wordsmith.

Educators can also download our resources for a more engaging classroom experience.

The roundhouse was my favorite part, because it gives a true feel for what goes on in a roundhouse—the cars are stationary, but seeing the actual tracks is eye-opening.
