Underground RailroadThis is a featured page

I have heard of two houses in Dover rumored to be stops on the Underground Railroad; 102 Locust Street and 258-260 Washington Street. According to the1990 Heritage Walking Tour Brochure, Benjamin Mason Nealley, owner of the Washington Street house, was active in the anti-slavery movement, and acted as a conductor on the Underground Railroad.

Do you know of any other stops in Dover?

According to local folklore, a white chimney with a black cap was a sign that the house was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
