In the early 1900s, some homes in New Castle, PA, were believed to have been part of the Underground Railroad, serving as safe havens for escaping enslaved individuals. Families such as the McGowan family and others in the region were known to have participated in these activities. However, specific details about which homes were used can be scarce, as many records were not kept, and the network relied on secrecy. The legacy of these efforts is an important part of the local history in New Castle.
