The Sleet house—where the family sheltered the fugitives.

Will Sleet House is a historic site in West Union, Ohio, an NPS Network to Freedom. The Sleet house—where the family sheltered the fugitives. HauntHunt files it with Underground Railroad history, the Underground Railroad and African American history. The dossier holds 2 documented facts — the record is history-forward, no paranormal claims on file. The site is open to visitors.

Will Sleet's home is the 'Canada' — the 'barn dubbed' that's the first stop named, the 'Kentucky-born free' that's the blacksmith's own crossing. The 'two known' is the rare — the 'Black conductors' that's the Clermont's counted, the 'Stokes's narrative' that's the Siebert recorded. The 'Felicity network' is the web — the 'Wesleyan, Powell, Fee' that's the stations mapped, the 'cemetery too' that's the community hid.
The '411 Harrison' is the marked — the 'water tower park' that's the site commemorated, the 'house gone' that's the parcel only. The 'forge' is the cover — the 'blacksmith's trade' that's the wagons mended, the 'free man' that's the born across the river. Sleet is the named — the 'Peter Stokes' that's the narrative cites, the 'first stop' that's the Ohio's welcome.
The file keeps Sleet: the barn called Canada, the two Black conductors, the Stokes account, and the marked site.
Will Sleet's site is the archive's Ohio file — the blacksmith who renamed his barn.
The record slug says West Union, but the site is at 411 Harrison Ave., Felicity, Clermont County — geography corrected.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Will Sleet's site is the archive's Ohio file — the free Black conductor's 'Canada.'
A site keeps its nickname — the file's suggestion being that Sleet's hold is the renamed: the 'barn called Canada' that's the destination previewed, the 'two known' that's the Black conductors counted, and the 'Stokes's words' that's the gratitude recorded.
