"Historic landmark commemorating key statjonmasters that helped slaves escaped to Canada. As a Canadian, it was fascinating to hear about more about this - the audioguide was great. We also walked around the gardens with our dog. Perfect stop for a rest to and to learn more."
"Incredible sculpture with an audio guide explaining the history of the underground railroad and those who risked their lives to save fellow slaves. The park is a nice area to walk around and stretch your legs, smell the flowers, and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the flowing river."
"Situated in downtown Battle Creek amidst trees and flowers, this bronze statue is definitely a must see- kudos to the artist for a great piece of work that is admirable and thought provoking from all three sides and the fourth side too"
