History
Daniel Kaufman was an Underground Railroad agent from 1835 to 1847, when he was sued by a Maryland slaveowner. He was ultimately fined $4,000 in 1852 in a case that drew wide attention. Kaufman had provided food and transportation to fugitive slaves passing through this area, and his barn and a densely wooded area nearby furnished shelter. In 1845, Kaufman laid out the village of Boiling Springs, and he built his 301 Front Street home in 1880.
