“We know that this home in Fayetteville was offered as a station and when Jermaine Loguen, who was head of the Underground Railroad in Syracuse came to the door she said it was one of the proudest acts of my life that I chose to offer my home,” said Sally Roesch Wagner, Executive Director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Center.

The Gage House is currently being restored and today it looks just like it did in 1854. It’s set to open in March as an interactive museum, much like another historical exhibit.
