#83313: Mendenhall Plaque

Two of the most faithful and committed supporters of the Underground Railroad in Chester County were the husband and wife team of Dinah and Isaac Mendenhall. Their home, Oakdale (1840) was often the first station in Chester County for the UGRR, for freedom-seekers sent by Thomas Garrett of Wilmington. Their work was much celebrated in Robert Smedley's History of the Underground Railroad In Chester and Neighboring Counties (1883).
