The National Park Service's National Under- ground Railroad Network to Freedom accepted the Lyles Station Underground Rail- road Museum Exhibit, owned and managed by Lyles Station Historic Preservation Corpo- ration, as one of 17 new list- ings from the 44th round of applications, represent- ing sites and programs in 13 states across the U.S. These new listings, alongside more than 700 sites, facilities, and programs already in the Network, provide insight into the diverse experiences of freedom seekers who bravely escaped slavery and allies who assisted them. "Each Underground Rail- road story documented by the Network to Free- dom Program explains the harrowing risks people took to liberate themselves from an unjust system of oppres- sion," says Diane Miller, National Program Manager. "The resilience and bravery of freedom seekers and their allies continue to inspire the Network to Freedom's work. Alongside our members, new and old, we will continue to ensure that their stories are not lost to history." The exhibit, and its travel- ing trunk companion for use in public schools, focuses on the story of Black farmers Charles and Keziah Greer, who played a critical role in assisting the family of famed Underground Railroad oper- ative William Still as they escaped from slavery. Lyles Station History Museum is open to the public at 953 N CR 500 W, Princeton. For the most up to date infor- mation to plan your visit, go to their website, www.lylessta- tion.org.
