Walking through history was informative and very revealing about our past in a good way. Our docent was knowledgeable and encouraged questions.
The guides were excellent in telling the history of Levi and Catherine Coffin quests of making provisions as a safe haven, for African American slaves going to Canada, aka an underground railroad system. Nice day trip for anyone seeking knowledge.
The Catherine and Levi Coffin house was has been maintained beautifully. My docent has been there for decades. She had a wealth of knowledge. I'm so glad this history has been preserved. It's a tribute to the brave freedom seekers who saught refuge there.
Great knowledgeable tour guides and an excellent new museum next door.
Note the picture of the ropes and the Wooden Key on the bed. The ropes were the mattress on the beds in 1800s. Every night the Wooden Key was placed against the knob which are called a "bed bugs". Frequently fingers would get caught in the key when the mattress ropes were tighten hence the expression "don't the bedbugs bite."
My kids loved it. We went a week ago and they are still talking about it! A little piece of advice though go on a cool breezy day!
