The Christiana Underground Railroad Center at Historic Zercher's Hotel is an authentic site recognized by The National Park Service's Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program. Visitors can explore the events that took place in Christiana, Pennsylvania in 1851, which are considered major flashpoints leading to the outbreak of the Civil War, through guided tours and informative exhibits.
This historic site, once a hotel and now the offices of The Charles Bond Company, offers a fascinating glimpse into the resistance against the Fugitive Slave Act and the pivotal role played by Abolitionist and U.S. Congressman Thaddeus Stevens. The Center's location makes it a convenient stop for those traveling between Philadelphia, Valley Forge, and the counties of Lancaster, York, and Adams.
