Take a Virtual Tour of Iowa's
Homes on the Underground Railroad

homes which served as stations on the Underground Railroad. Some
have since been torn down while others are privately owned and
therefore not open to the public. The homes featured below are
those which are currently open to the public for tours (as of
June 2002).
