September is International Underground Railroad Month - a meaningful time to explore the courageous pursuit of freedom and Wayne County’s important place in that history.

Located in Fountain City, Indiana, the Levi and Catharine Coffin House State Historic Site was once known as the “Grand Central Station of the Underground Railroad.” During their years in the community, Levi and Catharine Coffin provided transportation, shelter, food and clothing to more than 1,000 freedom seekers traveling north.

Today, visitors can tour the Coffins’ restored 1839 home and explore the interactive exhibits inside the Interpretive Center. It is a powerful, must-see Wayne County attraction where the stories of courage, sacrifice and hope are preserved.
