Johnson House Historic Site
The Johnson House Historic Site, a National Historic Landmark in Germantown, was a safe shelter and a crucial stop on the Underground Railroad thanks to the Johnson family who supported enslaved Africans seeking freedom. Recently, a hatch door was discovered in the third floor attic where runaway slaves often escaped to elude bounty hunters.
