The Galesburg Underground Railroad Freedom Station is a historical landmark, interpretive center, and research office for the Underground Railroad and other anti-slavery actions. The Director is Owen Muelder.
The Station was created in Summer 2004 when it gained a National Underground Railroad Freedom Center affiliation. In Winter 2007 the Station was awarded with recognition from the National Park Service.
The Station includes pretty much the entirety of the Old Jail as the historical landmark. The actual office is in Old Jail 13. A Heritage Center associated with the station is planned as part of the Alumni Hall renovation.
