The list of Underground Railroad sites includes safe places, help, and transportation for former enslaved people in 19th century North America before and during the American Civil War. It also includes places connected to people who worked to help all Americans gain their freedom in the movement to end slavery in the United States.

The list of officially confirmed Underground Railroad and Network to Freedom sites is organized by state or province and location.

Canada

The Act Against Slavery of 1793 said that any enslaved person would become free when they arrived in Upper Canada. A network of routes connected the United States to Upper and Lower Canada.

• Amherstburg Freedom Museum – Amherstburg. The museum uses artifacts, Black heritage exhibits, and videos to explain how Africans were forced into slavery and later traveled to Canada.
• Fort Malden – Amherstburg. One route to Ontario was crossing Lake Erie from Sandusky, Ohio, to Fort Malden. Another route was traveling across the Detroit River into Canada and then to Amherstburg. Many escaped slaves lived in the area, and Isaac J. Rice became a missionary who ran a school for Black children.
• Buxton National Historic Site and Elgin settlement – Chatham, Ontario. The Elgin settlement was started by Reverend William King, a Presbyterian minister, with 15 former slaves on November 28, 1849. King inherited 14 enslaved people from his father-in-law, bought another, and freed them all. He created the Elgin settlement as a safe place for runaway slaves. The Buxton Mission was built there.
• Uncle Tom's Cabin Historic Site and Dawn Settlement – Dresden. Rev. Josiah Henson, a former enslaved man who escaped slavery with his family via the Underground Railroad, helped start the Dawn Settlement in 1841. The settlement was a community for Black refugees where people could learn skills and receive education. They sent tobacco, grain, and black walnut lumber to the United States and Britain.
• John R. Park Homestead Conservation Area – Essex. The Park Homestead was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
• John Freeman Walls Historic Site – Lakeshore. John Freeman Walls left his enslavers in North Carolina and moved to Canada. The Refugee Home Society paid for land, and he built a cabin. Church services were held there before the Puce Baptist Church was built. It was also a final stop on the Underground Railroad. Walls and his family stayed in Canada after the American Civil War.
• Queen's Bush – Mapleton. Starting in 1820, African American pioneers settled in Queen's Bush. Over 1,500 Black people farmed the land and built a community with churches and schools, which were taught by American missionaries.
• St. Catharines – Harriet Tubman lived in St. Catharines and attended the Salem Chapel for ten years. After escaping slavery, she helped others reach freedom in Canada. The town was a final stop on the Underground Railroad for many people.
• Sandwich First Baptist Church – Windsor. The church was built in Windsor, Ontario, just across the border from the United States, by Black people who moved to Canada to live freely. It was recognized as a National Historic Site in 1999 for its role in helping fugitive slaves and supporting its community.

African-American people settled in Nova Scotia since 1749.

• Birchtown National Historic Site – Birchtown. It was a settlement of Black people from Colonial America who fought for the British during the American Revolutionary War in exchange for their freedom. Birchtown was the largest community of free Black people in British North America during the late 1700s.
• Africville – Halifax. Black people began settling in Africville in 1848. They did not have the same services as white people, such as clean water or sewers, and lived on land that was not good for farming. Some built homes, a Baptist church, a school, stores, and a post office. A plan was made to move families out and destroy the town.
