Thaddeus Stevens was one of the great champions of American freedom, and his contribution has been sadly neglected for far too long. He helped shape the America in which we all live today in profound ways. The Stevens and Smith Historic Site is a rare and remarkable site of national significance — one of the very few that associates a major elected official directly with the Underground Railroad. As the National Freedom Trails program expands, the Stevens complex is destined to become one of the most important sites of all.
