Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
In many ways, the state of Indiana doesn’t seem to get the credit it deserves. Most folks consider the Midwest to be “flyover” country, a place one quite literally flies over en route to more coveted vacation destinations. Well, those folks don’t know what it is they’re missing; Indiana is a beautiful state filled with natural wonders and delightful small towns, and its history is quite rich. For example, did you know that one Indiana home, in particular, was not just a major stop on the Underground Railroad, it was THE stop that meant, essentially, “If you’ve made it this far, you’ve made it.” Today, you can still visit it and learn about its extraordinary history. It’s the Levi and Catharine Coffin house, and it’s located in what’s now Fountain City, Indiana. Check it out and learn some of Indiana’s most amazing history from right where it happened:
To learn more in-depth history about the house as well as to plan your visit, check out the official website! There are lots of historic places in Indiana that we’re proud of, but this one has got to be one of the most amazing. Never forget what human beings will do out of love for one another in the face of evil – this house is a humbling reminder of Indiana’s relentless spirit, and her love for fellow man.
