The Underground Railroad a network of safe houses, safe spaces and secret routes that assisted runaway slaves on their journeys to freedom to the North has a mysterious history in Central Jersey.
The region has only a few documented Underground Railroad sites or points of interest but far more that have garnered debate among historians and property owners. The trouble with the Underground Railroad is there were no records kept because it was all highly secretive, said Richard Moody, a former board member and longtime volunteer with the Cranbury Historical and Preservation Society, as well as a volunteer with the Historical Society of Princeton.
