Descripción del sitio
Site #9 on Warsaw Abolitionist Tour
About: This is the site of a home that was a documented station of the underground railroad, cited by Arch Merrill in his book Underground (Freedom's Road), 1963. In the 1990's the home was torn down, leaving a vacant, grassy lot on Genesee Street facing Prospect Street. It was owned by Chauncey Gates, a brother of Seth M. Gates, who during the underground railroad era had substantial business dealings in Warsaw, including the "Western New Yorker" newspaper. Next door was the home of the George Ackley family, an African-American family of eight.
