| Introduction |
|
Driving up to the white house on the hill, one can only wonder what history this house holds. Did it offer refuge to escaping slaves on their journey to freedom? The dry cistern and the hidden opening in the cellar suggest it may have. This house with eyes to the past stands on the diagonal road that connects Elyria to Wellington as it bypasses Oberlin city.
Your journey back in time begins with the clang-clang of the 1860 doorbell as you turn the crank in a clockwise direction. The massive door squeaks open to allow you inside. Immediately you begin to feel the presence of the past as it meets the promise of tomorrow. |

As a retired gifted education teacher and history buff, my husband Joe is a knowledgeable tour guide around our century home and the historical city of Oberlin. He is always ready to answer any questions on any subject, but he specializes in the Civil War era and the Underground Railroad. The many Civil War artifacts help him tell the stories about life during those difficult times. Model railroading is his retirement hobby so be sure to take a walk around his Kipton NicklePlate Railroad Garden layout.
My wife, Susan, is a soon-to-be-retired Family and Consumer science teacher so she knows the kitchen, knows food, and serves up a delicious full course breakfast to help you start your day. Over the years she has designed and constructed the many garden rooms throughout the property and would be more than happy to give you a personalized garden tour and talk plants and landscaping, food, and swimming pools.
