The Lundy Project

This Blog is dedicated to reviving the life and material legacy of one of America's pioneering human rights activists, who began his youthful antislavery calling in Southeastern Ohio, in 1815, along the river banks of the Ohio, in the local towns of St. Clairsville and then Mt. Pleasant, Ohio.

Construction delays and some local contractor disputes have produced an unfortunate long delay in
having the metal roof placed onto the Lundy this past winter to date.

Although work began on the roof in early Dec, by end of January, due to some differences between
the owner and the local contractor, the metal roof project ground to a halt. 

Hopefully, soon, another roofer will take to completing the work begun in earnest in December.
The Project is set to be further improved come April/May and hopefully several items will be secured including the final completion of the roof and the masonry back walls will be either completed or greatly restored by the start of summer.

The Lundy Project is going to be gaining a new uniqus status soon also.  Anyone interested in knowing more about this ongoing project to restore the areas ONLY national landmark antebellum era home /or structure, please do not hesitate to contact myself at 740 381 5935.

Any and all donations are being accepted also in furtherance of completely renovating this piece of American history that stands in time as a witness to America's greatest social struggle ever experienced with its direct ties to the start of American abolitionism and the recognition and awarness of the moral evils of slavery as well as its direct ties to Lundy's greatest contribution of all perhaps, to America, the choosing and mentoring of the young William Garrison and then thru Garrison, his own young disciple who would help change the course of American history altogether, Frederick Douglass.
These three men, probably more than any other abolitionists of their own era, impacted this country for change and social revolution and help lead the hearts and minds of the North into a era of anti slavery sentiment which led directly to the Civil War.   It is with this tremendous legacy directly and physically in proximity to our efforts, that we are determined to see the restoration of the Lundy thru till its completion.
