The Haines House Underground Railroad site at 186 W. Market Street will be open this weekend. Docents will be avaliable for guided tours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon and Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. Admission is $3 per person.
The Haines House served as an Underground Railroad station beginning around 1853.
Its owners, Johnathan Ridgeway Haines and Sarah Grant Haines, were Quaker farmers who were active abolitionists in the area that Underground Railroad historian Wilbur Siebert characterized as “a hotbed of abolition” in his book, “Mysteries of Ohio’s Underground Railroads.”
