“Oh, I’m just taking three pigs to market” –Ohio’s Underground Railroad

Ohioans were quite active in aiding fugitive slaves on their journey north to freedom in Canada on the Underground Railroad network.

In marking a trail, after bending and fastening the young trees, the Indian would usually carve upon them his individual or clan insignia.

Welsh prince Madoc ab Owain Gwynedd sailed into what is now Mobile Bay, AL in 1170 A.D. and established forts along the Alabama River.

James Casto wrote “Highway to History,” to encourage more drivers to discover the history, scenery & small-town charm of the Midland Trail.
