Immerse yourself in the historic significance of the Freedom Center’s location on the banks of the Ohio River. Here, many enslaved people working to liberate themselves through the Underground Railroad took their first steps on free soil. Historic photos, footage and artifacts punctuate the region’s critical role as a borderland between slave and free states and the ongoing dynamics of justice and injustice that intersect here in Cincinnati and across the country.
The gallery features a sweeping, powerful media experience as well as artifacts and an interactive table where historic moments flow by as if in the river itself. "Pull” those moments from the current to learn more.
