Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway
Leverton House and Farm, MD

Jacob and Hannah Leverton, white Quaker abolitionists, owned the brick house and farm described as “the main stopping place for the Underground Railroad in the region.” Their son, Aurthur Leverton and a free black neighbor, Daniel Hubbard, were exposed in 1858. When a mob to catch them assembled, they fled to Philadelphia. Soon after, Leverton’s mother, widowed some ten years earlier, sold this house and joined him there.
