Before Frederick Douglass arrived in Rochester, Austin Steward was actively contributing to the business community of what was then known as Rochesterville. Eventually, Rochester became home to notable figures such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs, and Susan B. Anthony, who dedicated their efforts to the Abolitionist movement. Alongside them, Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth played significant roles in aiding freedom seekers escape from bondage through this key stop on the Underground Railroad.
