Two
Quakers, Levi Coffin and his wife Catherine, are believed to have aided over
3,000 slaves to escape over a period of years. For this reason, Levi is
sometimes called the president of the Underground Railroad. The eight-room
Indiana home they owned and used as a "station" before they moved to
Cincinnati has been preserved and is now a National Historic Landmark in
Fountain City near Ohio’s western boundary.
