The Slocum and Hannah Howland House is located at 1781 Sherwood Road in the hamlet of Sherwood in Cayuga County, New York. It is notable for its involvement in the Underground Railroad, as well as for its 19th-century architecture. Slocum Howland was a Quaker and a notable abolitionist. He was also a businessman, and owner of the Howland Cobblestone Store, also in Sherwood, New York.[2] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
