The North Country Underground Historical Association (NCUGRHA) was launched in 2004 at the North Counrty Cultural Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh, NY as a committee of inspired volunteers. They have celebrated the lives of abolitionists and freedom seekers ever since, with a special focus on rediscovery of the Champlain Line of the Underground Railroad. They concentrate on the UGRR history of seven northeastern New York Counties - Washington, Warren, Saratoga, Essex, Clinton, Franklin, and St. Lawrence - and contiguous areas in Vermont and Canada. They are advancing the national and international importance of this region.
