Underground Railroad in Pumpkin Hook!
Yesterday,I got to explore the Underground Railroad in the 5 house Hamlet of Pumpkin Hook,NY.It was an early Quaker settlement not far from Canandaigua,NY.All of thier escape routes led to the Quaker Church.History has it that hundreds of slaves passed through Pumkin Hook.It has one of the only Quaker Churches left in the Metro-Rochester,NY area!

Yes, Frederick Douglass and William L Garrison did attend meetings there with Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
