Mount Pleasant Historic District
Mount Pleasant Historic District, National Historic Landmark in Mount Pleasant, Ohio.
The Mount Pleasant Historic District preserves buildings and streets from the early 19th century at the intersection of Union and Concord Streets.
Founded in 1803 by Robert Carothers and Jesse Thomas, the district served as a station on the Underground Railroad for fugitive slaves seeking freedom.
The district includes the 1814 Friends Meetinghouse, which hosted the first yearly Quaker gathering west of the Allegheny Mountains.
The district maintains its original street layout from 1803, with residential properties now occupying most of the main roads that once held commercial buildings.
Local residents established a Free Produce Store in 1848 that exclusively sold products made without slave labor, demonstrating their commitment against slavery.
