"Beautiful and awe inspiring piece of history, they're doing a fantastic job with the stabilization and restoration as far as I can tell."
"The Union Literary Institute, located in rural Randolph County, Indiana, at 8605 East 600 South, Union City, Indiana (at its founding, "two miles east of Spartanburg"), was a school founded in 1846 by abolitionist Quakers and free blacks from Ohio, Kentucky, and North Carolina, after the Indiana Legislature decreed in 1843 that "colored students" could not attend the public schools."
