The Abolition Movement and Underground Railroad
—Greenwich, New York —
Greenwich, known as Union Village from 1809 to 1867, played a significant role in the history of the Anti-Slave Movement and the Underground Railroad. Many families in Union Village and surrounding area provided a safe haven for slaves heading north to freedom. The route from Troy through Easton to Union Village was a segment of the "thruway" for the Underground Railroad during the mid-1800s.HM Number | HM2G5Z |
