The Underground Railroad was an area where run-a-way slaves were able to hide out, moving from site to site, until they eventually ended up North, or South in Florida. The East side of town, still a predominantly black section of town, was the site of the Underground Railroad. The American flag in the African colors (red, green, and black) is an eye opening reminder where both slaves and free blacks lived.
