Yorkblogger Scott Mingus has updated the status of renovations to the Goodridge House, one of two sites in York County that is on the government’s Underground Railroad list. Here’s his caption from his post: Work restarted …: ‘This glass covers the old hidden stairway to a separate cellar under the kitchen. It is believed that slaves descended these stairs into the chamber below and huddled there until Goodridge could safely them them out of York. When the museum is finished, a projection system will show a film clip on this glass of a refugee heading down the stairs.’
