More exploring of the Underground Railroad in "Tubman Country." Webb Cabin: a one-room 1852 home built and owned by a Free Black family with a "potato hole," which represents a place freedom seekers could have hidden.

Linchester Mill: a series of mills from the 1680's to 1979, said to have been a hub of Underground Railroad activity conducted by Quakers, abolitionists, and free blacks living in nearby safe houses.

Stanley Institute: African-American built-and-owned one-room schoolhouse used from 1865 to 1966.
