A structure more than two centuries old with links to the most divisive period in our history stands at 650 South Wawaset Road, just across from the Chester County Prison. The home of Eusebius and Sarah Barnard—conductors on the Underground Railroad—was a temporary resting place where they allowed freedom seekers to stay before they continued on their journey. Long in disrepair and passed between several different owners, the site, now called Barnard Station, is undergoing an extensive restoration to return the house to its 1800s-era roots.
