Does anyone here live in a possible Underground Railroad house?

Asked by jfos (7392points) August 24th, 2009

Towards the end of slavery of African-Americans in America, there was a movement of slaves from the South to the North along the East Coast. They were commonly hidden in homes of whites and non-slave-owners.

It is likely that most of these houses are still standing. Does anyone live in one of these houses nowadays? Is there a secret room/hiding spot?
