[QUOTE="hark, post: 217936, member: 13196"] I grew up in the greater suburbs of Philadelphia and remember a local elementary school class trip where we visited a house used as an underground railroad. The basement was dark, damp, and small, and I couldn't imagine living in such an environment although that basement may have been better than their regular accommodations. For the life of me, I've never been able to remember where that house is located--I even asked some classmates about it within the past year. Unfortunately when my class went on a field trip to Gettysburg, I was sick and couldn't go so I've never been there. Lots of US history around this area including [URL="http://www.ushistory.org/WASHINGTONCROSSING/"][COLOR=#0000ff]Washington's Crossing[/COLOR][/URL] and [URL="http://www.pennsburymanor.org/"][COLOR=#0000ff]Pennsbury Manor[/COLOR][/URL] (William Penn's home) not to mention all the history in Philly.
