| Rankin House from Kentucky |
Here’s one more view of the Rankin house. Did you spot it up in the clearing on the hill? We’re now in Kentucky fields on the other side of the Ohio, and not right across from Ripley either. The house was visible for several miles as we drove along the river. It was easy to imagine escaping slaves watching from their hiding places for signal light to come out. John Rankin sure picked this spot out well!

Wow, now you can see how steep that hill is!
He sure was dedicated to his mission.
I guess Mr. Rankin had to keep the trees cut down. Would really have been amazing to live up there!
