I found this posting at the Underground Railroad site. Does anyone have any more information about it?
"I grew up in West Dundee, Illinois in an very old house. In the cellar there was a stone tunnel that led somewhere and had been blocked off a long time ago and there was a closet that had a secret passage way into the cellar. We were always told that the tunnel led to a church a few blocks away but no one ever knew much about it. There was another house in town called "The Pinkerton House" that had something to do with someone who was involved with Lincoln somehow and this house was involved in the Underground Railroad also."
