In this episode I interview three members of the Underground Railroad Society of Cass County (URSCC), Mike Moroz, the President, Cindy Yawkley Co-Chair of the Education Committee for the society and Cathy LaPointe, the treasurer.  We talk about the history of the underground railroad in Michigan, and the people in Cass County that we a part of it.  The URSCC has preserved three of the houses that were used as part of the Underground Railroad, the James E. Bonine House, the James E. Bonnie House and the Stephen Boque House.  We also discuss the infamous 1847 Kentucky Slave Raid that occurred in Cass County, and the detailed events of what happened that day as well as the outcome.

The URSCC is a non-profit organization, and they have a membership which raises funds to support preservation of these homes which now serve as a museum to educate future generations.  If you would like the take a tour or the homes, or support the work they are doing with the URSCC, be sure to visit their website at: https://www.urscc.org
