The Lewelling House
Salem, Iowa


In 1837, Henderson and Elizabeth Lewelling, along with their four kids, built this house in Salem, Iowa. They, along with their community of Quakers, were very serious about abolishing slavery. Here, the Lewellings established successful businesses and orchards, all while secretly helping freedom seekers escape from Missouri where slavery was still legal, and just 25 miles away.
