Newburgh Museum and Underground Railroad™
The Underground Railroad Museum coming to Newburgh New York 

 

National Urban Museums Of America™  has acquired The Karpeles Museum in Newburgh New York and plans to create The Newburgh Museum and Underground Railroad. 

This Underground Railroad pathway replica will use modern technologies like video displays , GSP and electronic sensor triggers to help the visitor experience. Each tour will have a guide that will take a group of escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad.  New York State was a gateway for many African Americans seeking to escape slavery in the 1800s. Its prime location, with access to Canada and major water routes, made it the destination of choice for many Africans fleeing slavery along the eastern seaboard. This interactive exhibit  was created to let the average person understand what it was like to get the courage to take the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom
