Description:

Established in 2015, the Bonine House Underground Railroad Research Library in Vandalia, Michigan, is operated by the Underground Railroad Society of Cass County (URSCC). The library, located in the upstairs of the Bonine House, contains the research collections of six historians, who have helped document the area’s role in the Underground Railroad, particularly as it pertains to 1847 Kentucky Slave Raid, which achieved national attention and resulted in prosecution of area Underground Railroad operatives under the 1793 Fugitive Slave Law. The library also contains other primary and secondary research that the URSCC has gathered since 2010, as well as regional, state and national information on the history of the Underground Railroad. Resources are accessible by visiting the library in-person, however, some are also available online at https://www.urscc.org/bonine-research-library.html . The Bonine House, built c. 1845, owned by the URSCC, was home to Underground Railroad operatives James E. Bonine and Sarah Bogue Bonine. It is a stop on the Cass County Underground Railroad Driving Tour, which is listed as a program in the Network to Freedom. The Bonine House Underground Railroad Research Library is listed in the Network to Freedom as a Facility. This Photograph was submitted for the first Network to Freedom Photo Contest.

This is a color nature photograph where the landscape is the focus of the photo. There is a wooden structure in the bottom left corner of the photo with two vertical yellow brown wooden stakes that has a triangular point at the top and a black metal pole that spans the length between the two stakes. The water below is murky. Tall, tan stalks of grass and a large tree emerge from the water. There is a ridge of trees but the rest of the landscape is obscured by a thin layer of fog that stretches across the entire length of the photo. The sky has a gradient of white to muted light blue.
