The 2,006.5-mile Underground Railroad Bicycle Route was created by the nonprofit organization Adventure Cycling. From Mobile, Alabama, to Owen Sound, Ontario, the trail memorializes the Underground Railroad, a network of secret routes by which escaped slaves attempted to reach freedom in the North before and during the Civil War. One of the route’s first stops is a marker right here in Itawamba County.
