Additional Description: The Gilbert House Possible Station on the Underground Railroad It is not easy to determine just which places might have been involved in the Underground Railroad. If the house dates back at least to the 1850s and there is evidence that the person who owned the house at the time was involved in helping fugitive slaves, that seems sufficient to determine that his or her house was probably as station on the Underground Railroad. Such a house was that of Warren Gilbert who lived on Gilbert Highway a few miles north of US 223 in Cambridge Township.
