Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008: Continental Under Construction

Back to work.

Updated…

I found some interesting information on the Yardley, PA Wikipedia article related to the Continental Tavern that I thought I would share…

During the American Civil War, Yardley was a station for the Underground Railroad, an escape route for slaves. Known hiding places were under the eaves of the Continental Hotel (now the Continental Tavern), in bins of warehouses on the Delaware Canal (completed in 1862), and at the General Store (now Worthington Insurance). At Lakeside, the yellow house facing Lake Afton on N. Main St., one brick-walled cellar room is also thought to have been a hiding place.
