As a young wife and mother living in Cincinnati, Harriet Beecher Stowe met former and fugitive enslaved people. On the Ohio River across from Kentucky, a slave state, the city exposed Stowe to the public face of slaveryStowe knew about slavery before she moved to Ohio. Her own grandmother kept African American servants who had probably originally been enslaved, and her father had preached in favor of the colonization movement, supporting the creation of Liberia as a settling point for freed people. But in Ohio, Stowe heard first hand stories from former enslaved people; witnessed slavery while visiting Kentucky; and employed fugitives in her home.

The inn at Cashtown

On Chambersburg Road there is an old inn called Cashtown Inn. Many Confederate soldiers stayed near or in the inn. The Inn was called Cashtown because the owner would only take cash, no credit. The day of the Gettysburg battle all the soldiers set out. They had received permission from the General to go and buy shoes. What they didn"t know was that they were about to get into a fight. The General who gave them permission knew that there were no shoes in Gettysburg, only Union soldiers who were ready to kill the Confederates. The Confederate General just wanted to fight. But, when the mostly barefoot soldiers ran into the Unions they were forced to fight. Most of them died. This event occurred in late June and early July. Ghosts of the soilders have been living at the inn ever sence that day. On day a man came into the inn asking a boy who worked there who the man standing by the enterance was wearing a very outdated war uniform, and the boy replied that he was just a regular ghost and not to worry about him. Guests have been known to see ghosts of soilders wandering the halls of the hotel. For some reason the ghosts of the men have haunted the inn but imparticularly room 4. People have been hearing knocks at the door but never find any one to be out side. Also guests wake up to find that all of their things have been packed in their suitecases and ready to go unsure of what is going on. The hotel went under reconstruction and was told that the ghosts did not come around much after, except for when late june, early july came around then the ghosts of the soilders would reapear.
