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.

- Fergus Bordewich, historian and author of Canaan: The Underground Railroad and the War for the Soul of America

Closer to Equality — Capital Campaign

We have successfully completed Phase I of our campaign to restore historic buildings once containing the home, law office and businesses belonging to Thaddeus Stevens and Lydia Hamilton Smith and to create rough museum space to house the main interpretive and educational complex. We are now embarking on Phase II of that effort which will complete the interiors and create exhibits and programming to honor the lasting legacy of these two American heroes and inspire people to carry on their work. Please join us by giving a gift. View the Friends of the Closer to Equality Capital Campaign.
