Curtis Mansion (my first blog post)

The Curtis Mansion

The Curtis Mansion is located in Mount Vernon, Ohio and was formally home to Henry B. Curtis ( 1799-1885). Henry was a lawyer who helped pick the site for Kenyon College and owned the Curtis House Hotel and was an abolitionist who helped slaves along the Underground Railroad by keeping them in his house and in his family's underground crypt at nearby Mound View Cemetery. The mansion itself is said to have secret underground passageways that connect to the family's crypt. The ghost of a child is said to peering out the windows on occasion.
