Remembered: the Life of Lucy Higgs Nichols

January 1, 2024-December 31, 2026
This exhibit guides visitors through Lucy Higgs Nichols' life, from 1838 — 1915. Period documents and letters detail her life as a slave in Tennessee, a nurse during the Civil War, and her post-war life in freedom.
This moving exhibition draws the national phenomenon of the Underground Railroad into sharp focus by revealing the contributions of ordinary people, both free and enslaved, whose courageous acts on both sides of the Ohio River helped overthrow the institution of slavery.
