What were the homes and barns where slaves stayed along the underground rail road railroad called?

Many were called "safehouses", because the homes and other buildings (such as barns, etc.) were owned by those who participated in the anti slavery efforts, and did all they could to help the slaves safely escape to freedom. Therefore, the homes and other buildings where the slaves were given shelter were considered safe, which is how they came to be called "safehouses".While many of the run away slaves stayed in the northern states, most of the slaves who ran away ran to Canada because, once they crossed into Canada, they were relatively safe from slave hunters who were paid to find and bring back runaways.
