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 linked to people who worked to help all Americans gain freedom in the movement to end slavery in the United States.

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

Canada

The Act Against Slavery of 1793 said that any enslaved person would be 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 historical artifacts, Black heritage exhibits, and video presentations to explain how Africans were forced into slavery and then made their way to Canada.
• Fort Malden – Amherstburg. One of the routes to Ontario was to cross Lake Erie from Sandusky, Ohio to Fort Malden. Another route to Fort Malden was to cross the Detroit River into Canada and then go to Amherstburg. Many runaway enslaved people lived in the area, and Isaac J. Rice started 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 enslaved people on November 28, 1849. King inherited 14 enslaved people from his father-in-law, bought another, and set them all free. He created the Elgin settlement as a safe place for runaway enslaved people. The Buxton Mission was established there.
• Uncle Tom's Cabin Historic Site and Dawn Settlement – Dresden. Rev. Josiah Henson, a former enslaved man who escaped slavery via the Underground Railroad with his wife Nancy and their children, helped start the Dawn Settlement in 1841. The Dawn Settlement was created as a community for Black refugees, where people could learn and gain skills to succeed. 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. Beginning in 1820, African American pioneers settled in Queen's Bush. More than 1,500 Black people set up farms and created 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 other enslaved people 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 just over the border from the United States in Windsor, Ontario, by Black people who came to Canada to live free. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1999 because of its role in helping fugitive slaves and its importance to the community.

African-American people moved to 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 18th century.
• Africville – Halifax. Black people settled in Africville beginning in 1848. Black residents did not have the same services as white people, like clean water and sewers, and lived on land that was not good for farming. Some built a community with a Baptist church, a school, stores, and a post office. A plan was made to move families out and destroy the town.
