"Ten Mile Freedom House," which was the Maywood site of the
Underground Railroad in the 1880's for runaway slaves.
Razed in 1927, the structure served as a freedom station for
slaves during the Underground Railroad era in the 1800's. An
Underground Railroad Memorial has now been erected at the
location.
Sculptural symbolic representation of escaping from the chains
of slavery bondage and entering the mysterious journey of the
underground railroad to freedom is one feature of the Memorial.
