Paterson Underground Railroad

Paterson was a documented "station" on the Underground Railroad, where local abolitionists took great risks to help freedom seekers on their path north to Canada. One key figure was industrialist Josiah P. Huntoon, whose home at Broadway and Bridge Street - "Huntoon's Corner" - became a link in the Underground Railway through collaboration with an interracial network of activists, including Black engineer William Van Rensaljer and local leaders such as John and Harriet Kline and Henry and Mary Low.
