Liberty Farm was the home of Abby Kelley Foster (1811-1887) and her husband, Stephen Symonds Foster, from 1847 until 1881. Though both were widely sought after as lecturers, in 1847, the couple purchased the farm and immediately opened the house to slaves escaping north on the Underground Railroad.
Liberty Farm, a National Historic Landmark, is located in the Tatnuck section of Worcester.
