NPS-listed historic site associated with the Underground Railroad.

A historic site in Topeka, Kansas, a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom listing, John Armstrong House is filed here for what the record attaches to it. NPS-listed historic site associated with the Underground Railroad. The archive files it under dark history, Underground Railroad history and the Underground Railroad. The dossier holds 2 documented facts — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. Access is restricted, and the file says so plainly.

The Armstrong house is the barrel — the 'hogshead' that's the New Orleans shipped, the '300 kept' that's the claim made. The 'Ann Clarke' is the first — the 'six weeks hid' that's the '57 launch, the 'Lane Trail opened' that's the route born. The 'boarders' is the risked — the 'Captain Henry' that's the pro-slavery guest, the 'kept secret' that's the mercy found.
The '$70 raised' is the funded — the 'Robinson and Ritchie' that's the donors named, the 'closed carriage' that's the transport bought. The 'every one reached' is the record — the 'Canada' that's the end claimed, the '1910 told' that's the old man's count. Armstrong's is the vessel — the 'sugar barrel' that's the hiding's shape, the 'beneath the house' that's the cellar's dark.
The file keeps Armstrong: the hogshead, Ann's six weeks, the Lane Trail's start, and the 300 claimed.
Armstrong House is the archive's Kansas file — the barrel that held 300 freedoms.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Armstrong House is the archive's Kansas file — the cellar where the Lane Trail began.
A house keeps its barrel — the file's suggestion being that Armstrong's hold is the counted: the 'hogshead' that's the hiding's vessel, the '300 all told' that's the ledger kept, and the 'Ann Clarke' that's the first launched.
