This home is an excellent example of life in the Connecticut Western Reserve in the middle third of the 19th century. There are three distinct features of the Hubbard House: the (circa) 1841 home of William and Catharine Hubbard on the first floor, the Underground Railroad exhibit area on the second floor; and the Civil War and Americana exhibit area in the basement. Fugitive slaves would wait in the adjacent barn until a ship arrived to take them to Canada.
