The Travelers Green Book was a travel guide that was created due to Jim Crow and the growing Black middle class. Many of the locations are travel destinations, travel houses(many times the private homes of Black/African American residents), as well as hotels, gas stations, hair salons, barber shops and restaurants that would serve Black patrons. These were usually suggested by people based upon their personal experience and were verified by the Negro Travelers Green Book. Upstate NY locations such as Bath, Mechanicsville, Jamestown, Glens Falls, Lake Placid, Lake George, Watertown, Niagara Falls, Utica, Saratoga Springs and the 4 major cities are on this map. More about this former travel guide and its creator, who was a native New Yorker himself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ne...ist_Green_Book
