Using Google Maps, students will plot underground railroad stops beginnning in Kalamazoo, MI and ending in Amherstburg, Ontario.
2. Find it
What may have been the shortest route for a person escaping slavery?
3. Follow it
On your route to Dresden, Ontario (location of Uncle Tom's Cabin), in what city is the historical Second Baptist Church?

Hi there,
I really like your idea for map making. What a great way to use technology in a history class. It is also very educational. I like the idea of stopping to explore the museums. I also think you could explore this tool and use it to follow other famous journeys such as the route of Christopher Columbus. Great idea!

I love this idea. I have always been fascinated with the underground railroad and google map would be a wonderful tool to use to help plot it and visually see it. Great idea.
This is a great idea. Being a history teacher as well, I feel that this would be an excellent addition in the classroom. Using Google Maps really makes the educational process more "hands on" and allows the students to "experience" their educations as much as possible. Great idea. I'm going to steal it ;)
