Jacob and Hannah Leverton House
Jacob and Hannah Leverton House, Underground Railroad station in Preston, United States
The two-story brick house features Federal architectural style with a gable roof and symmetrical design constructed in the first quarter of the 19th century.
Jacob and Hannah Leverton, members of the Quaker community, provided shelter and assistance to individuals escaping slavery through the Underground Railroad network.
The residence stands as a connection point in the network that included homes of Daniel Hubbard, Arthur Leverton, and Ben Ross, father of Harriet Tubman.
The property spans 2.3 acres and contains educational markers within three miles that detail the history of the Underground Railroad movement.
A legal case emerged when Jacob Leverton faced prosecution after admitting to helping an injured enslaved girl escape from her owner.
