This is so interesting. My mom lived in the Culbertson house as a child. She’s 91 now. She always told me stories about how her and her brothers played in the basement and that there were slave shackles on the wall.

I'm so excited to hear from you, Becky. Thanks for reading!

Those slave shackles surprise me. Theoretically, if the people were waiting to cross over the river into freedom, why would shackles be needed? Do you or your mom have any theories?
