Runaway Slave Hiding Place

Sanctuary for Sam

In 1845, a runaway slave named Sam was hidden by Mary Corbit behind this tiny door in the attic of the Corbit-Sharp house. When local authorities came looking for Sam, they did not consider checking behind such a small door. Sam was able to continue his journey north to Pennsylvania and freedom.
