Congress has approved a historical designation for the Quindaro Ruins, a Civil War-era port of entry into Kansas and stop along the Underground Railroad. The Kansas City Star reports that lawmakers recognized Quindaro as a national commemorative site as part of a massive public lands package approved Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2019. Supporters say it creates opportunities for new assistance from the government to preserve the Kansas City site, which was once a flourishing abolitionist community.
