This house was the first site that I located. I learned of it through Margaret and Richard Smith of Athens. They heard many tales of fugitive slaves using this house as refuge. When the train stopped, it was in this home that the fugitives found refuge until the train was on its way north again, providing quick transportation to freedom.
