How interesting! I'll email my mother and ask her. My mom's cousin use to own the Millcroft Inn in Milford. When their was a fire there, their kids came and stayed with us. I was just a little kid then myself - probably about 1958.

Our family tradition holds that the house where my great-grandmother was born (now known as the Mill Street Manor restaurant and formerly the Milcroft) was used on the Underground Railroad. I once asked the owner about it (when it was the Milcroft) and she said they believed the story to be true...that the basement had areas that appeared to be concrete over former tunnels. This would make sense since those tunnels could have led out near the Little Miami River. (An obvious route for the escapees could have been to cross the Ohio and follow the Little Miami to Milford.) This home was originally John Kugler's. He married Rebecca West, he died, she remarried a Townsend. When Rebecca died childless, the Kugler property became the subject of a lawsuit, with the Wests winning in the end. Does anybody know any more about this building and its history? Is there evidence other than oral tradition? Thanks for any tips!
