Happy National Women's Month!
Today we highlight Catherine Coffin! 
Catherine Coffin along with her husband, Levi, offered safe haven to thousands of African-Americans fleeing slavery on the “Underground Railroad for twenty years. Catherine was as dedicated to the effort of helping the escaping slaves as
her husband. She provided food, clothing and shelter to those who came to
their home. Today, you can visit the Levi and Catharine Coffin House State Historic Site to learn more about her lasting impact and legacy.
