Thulani became interested in the Kelton House: located on Town Street
*Fernando Cortez and Sarah Stone Kelton (avid abolishionists) built the home in 1852- the last in the pasture land; in 1864, the Kelton's began aiding fleeing slaves. Therefore, this home became a link in the Underground Railroad...moving slaves from the South, through Ohio, and into Canada.
Celebrated yet today!

We visited the Old Deaf School Park: the building is used for private businesses, but the grounds have been transformed onto a wonderful topiary scene- based on French Impressionist, Serrat (pointism)
Next, we crossed Broad Street to glimpse the Columbus College of Art and Design's most recent sculpture: "ART".
Our trek home takes us next to the Franklin Park Conservatory...harkening back to the 1800's when ladies walked the paths in bustled dresses, and gents always wore suits and hats- there are STILL plants in there from those days
An evening look at The Commons- our newest park in downtown proper.
