Bernice and Russell Arnold taught their children, John and Sara, of their home's history - the Samuel Robertson House, built between 1812 and 1814 before the Civil War. It was a hospital and then a school. It was on the Underground Railroad.

The Samuel Robertson House

In the drawing at right, the front entrance of the historic Samuel Robertson House was used as a stagecoach stop. Years later, after the street was moved, that door was closed to allow for plumbing and the entry to the home is on the opposite side.

2021-09-08 - Somewhere in Ohio - Photo by Tom Waggener
Spotted somewhere along the Ohio to Erie bike trail. Wikipedia says of The CitiCar, it "was an electric car produced from 1974 to 1977 by Sebring, Florida-based Sebring-Vanguard, Inc. After being bought out by Commuter Vehicles, Inc, Sebring-Vanguard produced the similar Comuta-Car and Comuta-Van from 1979 to 1982. Accounting for all CitiCar variants, a total of 4,444 units were produced up to 1979, the most since 1945 for an electric car assembled in North America until surpassed by the Tesla Model S."
