Editor's Note
In case anyone has read Jean Ibendahl's letter to the editor in the Southern Illinoisan concerning the Old Slave House (you can read it on this site's guestbook), there's one bit of information the Southern forgot to add. Jean owns the house in question and is actively trying to sell it.

While I have not been to the house she owns I have read about it (and even sent reporters to cover it while at WSIL-TV). From all accounts it is an Underground Railroad station in excellent shape that should be preserved.

Old Slave House supporters shouldn't be offended by what Jean has to say. Just keep in mind that the letter had a purpose that had nothing to do with the Old Slave House.
