With cooperation from the National Parks Service, research grants were awarded to research the UGRR in Indiana. Out of the research, books were created and are currently available to the public for a nominal fee. The books cover 34 counties in Indiana. If you are interested in any of the books please contact the Indiana Historical Bureau.
All books are $5.00 each (no additional discount). Purchasing information.
