History
1
This house served as a station on the Underground Railroad, offering assistance to runaway slaves during their flight to freedom. Early owners included James Janney, who bought the house in 1835, James Farr, who bought the house in 1838, and Joseph Thomas, who bought the house in 1866. All three men were members of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, and all were conductors on the Underground Railroad, risking their lives and property to escort runaway slaves on their flight to freedom.
