NPS-listed historic site associated with the Underground Railroad.

A historic site in Heath, Massachusetts, a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom listing, Roger Hooker and Keziah Leavitt House is filed here for what the record attaches to it. NPS-listed historic site associated with the Underground Railroad. It sits in the archive under dark history, Underground Railroad history and the Underground Railroad. The dossier holds 3 documented facts — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. Access is restricted, and the file says so plainly.

Leavitt House is the six years — the 'Basil Dorsey' that's the sheltered 1838-44, the 'Liberty, Maryland' that's the escaped from. The 'father and son' is the layered — the 'Roger president' that's the county society '36, the 'Roger Hooker' that's the son hosted him. The 'Joshua' is the connector — the 'brother in New York' that's the sent Dorsey west, the 'Christian benevolence' that's the letter wrote.
The 'census' is the documented — the '1840' that's the Dorsey household listed, the '50 cents' that's the gave to the cause. The 'son born' is the rooted — the 'Charles Robert '38' that's the Charlemont born, the 'Florence' that's the finally settled. Leavitt is the secret — the 'greatest secrecy' that's the resident recalled, the 'resting place understood' that's the Blake's and Leavitt's.
The file keeps the Leavitt house: Dorsey's six years, the father's presidency, the Joshua connection, and the census's record.
The Leavitt House is the archive's Massachusetts file — the farm that sheltered a family for six years.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Roger Hooker and Keziah Leavitt House is the archive's Massachusetts file — where a fugitive stayed six years.
A house keeps its guest — the file's suggestion being that Leavitt's hold is the long-term: the 'six years' that's the not one night, the 'son born here' that's the family grew, and the '50 cents' that's the fugitive turned donor.
