What did the safe houses on the underground railroad look like?

They looked just like any other building, like a house, a church, a barn, possibly a commercial building of some sort. This was an illegal, secret activity, so the idea was to hide what was going on as much as possible. Some houses had secret rooms, behind false walls, with concealed or camouflaged doors. Other places the runaways would just be hidden in an attic, a cellar, a barn loft, anywhere they could be concealed until they could be moved on. It was the people that lived or worked in these places that were important, with their willingness to help the runaways. Some had more elaborate hiding places within their home (or church) than others. There are a few buildings still standing which, according to local traditions, were used as "stations" along the "railroad". It was really just a network of friendly places, with the people there at those places being willing to conceal the runaways for one night or several nights, until conditions were favorable to try to cover some more ground toward the north.

How did the underground railroads look like?
The Underground Railroad was a network of escape routes that were described using railroad terms. 'Passengers' were runaway slaves fleeing from the South. Their guides were called 'conductors' and they led them from one 'station' to another. Escape routes stretched from the southern slave states into the North and on to Canada. Fugitives usually traveled secretly at night, and were hidden in 'safe houses', barns, and haylofts in the day. Thousands of antislavery campaigners, both black and white, risked their lives to operate the railway. There was no "map" as the people involved had to keep everything secret. Directions were passed orally from person to person as the need arose.

How did slavery no how the safe house look like?
Slavery did not directly determine the appearance of safe houses used in the Underground Railroad. Safe houses varied in appearance and location, but they were often inconspicuous, blending into the surrounding area to avoid suspicion. They could be private homes, barns, or other buildings, with secret hiding spots or passages to shelter escaped slaves on their journey to freedom.
