Built in 1861 -- this remarkable and unique historical landsite stands as a tribute to the Quakers, American history and is also possibly linked to the Underground Railroad.  It continues to stand against time and  incredible odds.   

Current efforts are underway to secure the structure from sustaining damage to the foundation and walls and keep this wonderful building an ongoing gift to our present and future generations.
