Gerrit Smith Estate, in Peterboro, New York, was a home of Gerrit Smith, 19th-century social reformer, abolitionist, and presidential candidate, and his wife, Ann Carroll Fitzhugh. The buildings remaining on the property that contribute to its historical significance are the Peterboro Land Office with an attached smokehouse, designated on the National Register of Historic Places on its own, a 19th-century barn and an adjacent building that was probably the laundry. The rest of the property contains numerous sites of buildings that no longer exist. Outbuildings on his estate were used as refuges for escaped slaves, on the Underground railway. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2001.〔 Image:Peterboro Land Office.jpg|Peterboro Land Office Image:Smokehouse Gerrit Smith Estate.jpg|Smokehouse attached to the Peterboro Land Office Image:Barn and Laundry Gerrit Smith Estate.jpg|19th century barn and adjacent building thought to have been the laundry ==See also== *List of Underground Railroad sites 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gerrit Smith Estate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
