The fully restored Bucktown Village Store has been opened as a museum! It holds a large collection of artifacts from the Underground Railroad, including items from the life of Harriet Tubman. Now operated by the Bucktown Village Foundation, the museum offers guided tours six days a week in order to educate the public about Bucktown’s connection to Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad.
