The 1835 Monteith Hall, now home to the Elyria Woman's Club, was built by Rev. John Monteith, an abolitionist who used his home as a station on the Underground Railroad. The basement led to the Black River via a tunnel, and fugitive slaves stayed in the house until safe passage to Lorain and then to Canada could be arranged. The tunnel no longer exists as it was filled in to avoid an impending collapse. Phone (440) 322-0524. Learn More...
