Par...My name is Kathy Dahl and I am a former Cinti. Park naturalist who created (2008) and led Ravine to Freedom tours at LaBoiteaux Woods in College Hill--this tour was about the sites along Hamilton Ave from Northside to Mt Healthy. I started my research using Betty Ann Smiddy's book "A little piece of paradise". In 2012 Betty Ann and I created the Hamilton Avenue Road to Freedom committee that included the historical societies of Northside, College Hill, North College Hill and Mt Healthy. We also created a map with short summaries for all these sites, you can view at this website: http://www.mthealthyhistory.org/images//hamilton_avenue_road_to_freedom.pdf We have a new website for telling these stories (still working on), it includes a YouTube video of the history http://hamiltonavenueroadtofreedom.org/ In 2013 we had the National Parks Network to Freedom (division specific for UGRR) reps, from Omaha Nebraska, stay at Six Acres B&B in College Hill. They evaluated many of these sites and we are applying for listings. Thank you for showing an interest and sharing with the public Kathy Dahlhttp://hamiltonavenueroadtofreedom.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123420418950834915.post-30142803274305778532014-01-06T08:11:54.461-05:002014-01-06T08:11:54.461-05:00I will have to check out his work at the Art Museu...I will have to check out his work at the Art Museum next time I go!

Healthy, a lecture prompted the question of the location of her home, and the possible link of the streets Elizabeth, Joseph and Seward with her and her family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123420418950834915.post-55347981506111515722014-01-05T14:57:29.299-05:002014-01-05T14:57:29.299-05:00just read the article about Mt.

Healthy 's history and thought I would let you know that during the slavery issue period there was a gentleman from Scotland who helped the slaves escape through Mt. Healthy and he became involved witrh a female slave whom he married and had a son, The son was later sent to Canada and he became a world famous artist. His paintings are now showing in the Art Museum in Eden Park and also in the Taft Museum downtown. His last name is Duncunson. He and his mother lived in the area of Hamilton Ave. in Mt. Heallthy near where the Paul Young Funeral Parlor stands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123420418950834915.post-68096947421225190412014-01-03T15:55:08.012-05:002014-01-03T15:55:08.012-05:00I am definitely on the same page as you Karen!

Healthy. It's a nice post. Thank you! I live here in Mt. Healthy and find our pre-civil war and abolitionist history exciting. There aren't many folks here who care about that era; sometimes it takes an outsider to appreciate what you see every day and take for granted.Karen Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638911073507980300noreply@blogger.com
