Levi Coffin
Levi Coffin is an American Quaker, Republican, abolitionist, farmer, entrepreneur, and humanitarian. An active leader of the Indiana and Ohio Underground Railroads, some of whom informally referred to Coffin as "the president of the subway," estimated that the three thousand escaped slaves were in his charge. The Coffin House in Fountain City, Wayne County, Indiana is now a museum, sometimes referred to as the "Grand Central Station" of the Underground Railroad. Born near Greensboro, North Carolina, Coffin came into contact with and opposed slavery as a child. His family immigrated to Indiana in 1826, to avoid growing persecution by slave owners against Quakers, whose faith did not allow them to own slaves and help diggers. In Indiana, Coffin settled near the freeway with other Quakers in Wayne County, Indiana, near the Ohio border. He worked on a farm and became a local businessman and entrepreneur.
