NPS-listed historic site associated with the Underground Railroad. HauntHunt files it with dark history, Underground Railroad history and the Underground Railroad. The dossier holds 2 documented facts — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. The site is open to visitors.

The State House is the sold — the 'Burris auctioned' that's the steps' shame, the '$500' that's the abolitionist's bid. The 'free man sold' is the law — the '14 years' that's the sentence served, the 'posed as trader' that's the rescue's ruse. The 'pardoned '15' is the returned — the 'same courtroom' that's the 168 years later, the 'Markell's words' that's the hero named.
The 'first capitol' is the stood — the '1791' that's the Georgian built, the 'courtroom kept' that's the ground floor. The 'law written' is the source — the '1837 statute' that's the sale made legal, the 'highest bidder' that's the free man's price. The State House is the doubled — the 'justice's seat' that's the law's home, the 'injustice done' that's the Burris case.
The file keeps the State House: the auction steps, the posed trader, the same-room pardon, and the law's words.
Delaware State House is the archive's Delaware file — where a free man was sold then pardoned.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Delaware State House is the archive's Delaware file — the steps where Burris was sold.
A capitol keeps its shame — the file's suggestion being that the building's hold is the doubled: the 'sold on steps' that's the law's act, the 'posed bidder' that's the rescue's nerve, and the 'same courtroom' that's the pardon's circle.
