    Kennett Newspaper Articles

    In 2013, KURC was asked by the Kennet Paper to write some short, 500 word, articles about the Underground Railroad and the Kennett Square area.  Chris Densmore and Terence Maguire stepped up to the task and created close to sixty articles.  We have reprinted them here because all are interesting and very enlightening! We hope you enjoy them!
