The Lewis and Harriet Hayden House in Boston was a key stop on the Underground Railroad. Lewis Hayden, an African-American abolitionist and former slave, used the home to shelter those escaping slavery, including Ellen and William Craft. Both Haydens played significant roles in the abolitionist movement, with Lewis assisting in rescues like that of Shadrach Minkins and supporting John Brown's Harper's Ferry raid. Harriet, upon her death, left a scholarship fund for Black students at Harvard Medical School.
