Charlemont Houses Recognized as Significant in
Underground Railroad
Two Charlemont Houses were recognized by the National
Underground Railroad Network to Freedom project. The Hart and Mary Leavitt
House and the Roger Hooker and Keziah Leavitt House were evaluated as
"making a significant contribution to the understanding of the
Underground Railroad in American History and meets the requirements for
inclusion in the National Underground Network to Freedom."
Map of the
"Underground" Routes to Canada also shows Charlemont as an area
of activity.
