There were several stops on Underground Railroad in Andover.
A brief history of the Underground Railroad from The Underground Railroad in Massachusetts by William H. Seibert (1936):
Andover Homes involved with the Underground Railroad:
- William Jenkins – 8 Douglass Street (formerly Jenkins Road)
- Holt Cogswell House – 373 South Main Street
- Mark Newman House – 210 Main Street on the Phillips Academy Campus
- Stowe House – 80 Bartlett Street
- William Poor and Sons Wagon Factory - 66 Poor Street. William Poor and his sons built carriages with false bottoms for transporting slaves to freedom.
- Free Christian Church – 31 Elm Street. This church was formed by John Smith and other Andover residents who did not think that other churches were making a strong stand against slavery.
