When we stayed at the Proctor Mansion and Inn located in Wrentham, Mass I noticed a bright red window. I was told that was a sign of a safe house for slaves traveling the underground railroad.

World War Two Bunker
In Brooksville, Florida you can find a bunker that was used as a target, strafed by aerial-trainee machine gunners on B-17 Flying Fortresses in the 1940s. This was a remote spot when the bunker was built; now it’s across the street from the local Chamber of Commerce.
