NJ - Lawnside: Peter Mott House - a photo on Flickriver

            The Peter Mott House, located in what what was then known as Snow Hill (now Lawnside), is one of the few surviving Underground Railroad sites owned by an African-American abolitionist in an African-American community. Built in the mid-1840’s, the house is named after Peter and Eliza Mott, who owned the home. Peter was a freed Black farmer, carpenter, pastor and “stationmaster” along the Underground Railroad.

The oldest standing residence in Lawnside, it was constructed in two phases around 1845 and 1870.  After years of neglect, it narrowly escaped demolition in 1992 when local residents formed the Lawnside Historical Society to preserve it.  Today, the Peter Mott House operates as a museum dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of the Underground Railroad and the African American experience in the region.
