The Underground Railroad was a series of safe places for Freedom Seekers to receive aid on their journey to escape enslavement. Brave men and women, of all colors, faiths and circumstances were part of this network to freedom, including the Jordan family in West Des Moines. Barry Jurgensen, Midwest Regional Manager of the National Park Service’s Network to Freedom, will focus on the history of the Underground Railroad in Iowa and especially the John Brown Freedom Trail’s place in national history.
