Visit The Underground Railroad site at Marshall Key's Tavern, Old Washington, Mason, KY - Saturday Sept. 20th from 9am to 10:15am. Harriet Beecher Stowe, while visiting one of her pupils at the Col. Marshal Key Home, witnessed a slave auction in front of the courthouse, and her novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" reflected that experience. James A. Paxton, owner of the Paxton Inn, helped the Underground Railroad by hiding runaway slaves under a stairway until they could continue their escape northward.
