History
7
Conway House was the home of Moncure Conway, who freed himself from the dogmas of his culture and became an abolitionist. He was the only descendant of one of the nation’s Founding Fathers to actively lead escaping slaves to freedom, thereby taking the initial steps to correct what was not accomplished in the Constitutional Convention. Conway House makes a significant contribution to understanding the desire to achieve freedom of one’s own self destiny.
