I had a friend growing up whose house was on the outskirts of our village - Scottsville NY. Outside of Rochester. False walls and tunnels - well known as a stop on the railroad. The city of Rochester has lots of former stations and safe houses.

My dads great grandfather went South to Mexico. He was enslaved in Alabama. How brave he was!
