La Grange,
Delia Webster earned quite a reputation as a local conductor on the Underground Railroad and had a passion for aiding Freedom Seekers who wanted a better life, even if it meant risking her own. An incident occurred in 1844 which made her a household name when she and Rev. Calvin Fairbank plotted to aid Lewis Hayden and his family in their attempt to escape slavery. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
