A 350-foot tunnel linked with a house to the Susquehanna River bank made way for slaves from the south to escape to freedom. Because they were treated as badly as an animal in the South, they used the house as a hiding place on the way to Canada, which was called freedom country. It was a very important story of history. The history of Ann McNabb's family was how the house was changed to a famous truly unique shop in 1985. It took 12 weeks to restore.
Many tourists visit the shop.
Some Senshu University students visited in 1991. The present owner, Ann, has two shops. One is at 119 North Market Street, Selinsgrove, PA 17870. There is also bar with sandwich and beer restaurant in the basement of the house. They are open on Friday and Saturday for lunch and dinner.
