Richard Moore House

History

Historian Dr. Robert Leight writes that “Richard Moore’s home and pottery became known as the northernmost ‘station’ in the Underground Railroad in Bucks County. The escaped slaves, or ‘passengers’ would come at night from other ‘stations’ from either Chester County by way of Norristown or from lower Bucks County. When it was safe they would be moved either to a Quaker meeting in Stroudsburg or to Easton for their journey northward.“
