About: The Smith family used this house as a base for its antislavery activities. The five Smith sisters and their parents hosted abolitionist meetings, permitted anti-slavery lectures on the lawn, distributed literature, and obtained signatures on anti-slavery petitions. At this site the family worked with African American anti-slavery leaders and sought not only the end of slavery, but also improved conditions for free blacks as well.
