The Underground Railroad exhibit is displayed year-round at the Geneseo Historical Museum. In the display, there are shackles, books, photographs, maps of cities in Illinois that located abolitionists that helped on the Freedom Trail.

Additionally, visitors are led to rooms in the basement where the slaves slept and were cared for and another small room that contains a hidden stairwell and the “hiding hole” where those heading north to Canada would hide in fear of being captured.
