Lucy Depp Park and the Underground Railroad
 
We know that Dublin has a rich history which is often recognized in street names and school names.  Today, we learned more about contributions made through the Underground Railroad and with whom it all started...drive slowly the next time you are on Harriott Rd. and you will see more detail on historical markers and a beautiful white barn.
 
Our guest presenters were Gwynn Stetler, Theresa Deering, Zelda McDaniel, and Mike Hamilton.  They shared with us the rich history of what is now commemorated by historical markers at Lucy Depp Park.  Each of them has a personal connection to this history and have put in an extraordinary amount of effort and time to ensure that its significance is recognized and not forgotten.  This Lucy Depp Park link will provide much better information than could be provided in this meeting summary.  This Dublin history is an important period of time in our past and another piece of the puzzle that contributes to where Dublin stands today.   Everyone is encouraged to visit this site located on Harriott Rd. near Dublin Rd.
