There is a terrific Underground Railroad museum in Cincinnati. Syd took her students there. It's roughly where Margaret Garner ("the Modern Medea") was trying to cross to safety, so there's a monument on (I believe) the Kentucky side of the river.

There are certainly important parallels to note. Ohio fought to extradite Garner, since a due process trial for murder was better than being lost in the night and fog of the slaveholding South.

I mean, that's all well and good, and all, but...have you considered the Huntington West Virginia Hot Dog Trail?
