History
1
The Underground Railroad was a manner of piloting negro slaves to freedom. In this area, the pilots were largely Quakers, and the most active were the Pickerells, Paxtons, and Williams. At this point during slavery days, the Quaker Henry Pickerell built his house with secret entrances to some rooms, which were used as havens of refuge for slaves en route to freedom in the North.
