The great State of Ohio is home to several landmarks of particular importance to African American History, including The Haines House, The Harriet Beecher Stowe House, and The Dunbar House.  Celebrate this February by visiting one of these fascinating sites.

The Haines House served as an Underground Railroad station in Alliance, Ohio, beginning around 1853. Its owners, Jonathan Ridgeway Haines and Sarah Grant Haines, were Quaker farmers who were active Abolitionists in an area that Underground Railroad historian Wilbur Seibert characterized as "a hotbed of abolition" in his book Mysteries of Ohio's Underground Railroads.

The Harriet Beecher Stowe House is operated as an historical and cultural site, focusing on Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. The site also includes a look into the family, friends, and colleagues of the Beecher-Stowe family, Lane Seminary, and the abolitionist, womens rights and Underground Railroad movements in which these historical figures participated in the 1830's to 1860's, as well as African-American history related to these movements.

The Dunbar House is an Italianate turn-of-the-century structure, the final home of the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. It exhibits his literary treasures, many of his personal items and his family's furnishings.
