Historic Lunch

[PaigeBooth]

I had lunch yesterday at The Back Porch; this restaurant is housed in what once was a beautiful stone home located along the Monongahela River. Built in 1806, it served as a residence and stop along the Underground Railroad during the Civil War years.

I am pictured below in a room that was once used to store coal. Fugitives slaves hid here by day, between the piles of coal, and followed the Monongahela River as a guideline by night during their quest for freedom.
