Description
Thirty Days of Stories on the Underground Railroad is a series of podcasts series created in celebration of September as International Underground Railroad Month. The Oldham County History Center is celebrating by recording a podcast story on the Underground Railroad to broadcast each day of September.
Slave Trader John Anderson and the Anderson Slave Jail is read by Jeannine Kreinbrink, archaeologist who helped deconstruct and reconstruct the Anderson Slave Pen Jail displayed at the Cincinnati Freedom Center and worker on the Bibb Escapes/Gatewood Plantation Site for the Oldham County History Center. Jeannine and Doug VonStrohe own the archaeology firm, K&V Cultural Resources Management.
Archaeologist Jeannine Kreinbrink describes the operation and business of John Anderson, a notorious slave trader whose farm is located on the border of Mason and Bracken Counties in Kentucky. She describes the story as it unfolds when she and a team of historians, architects and archaeologists, move the slave jail, that was once on the Anderson farm, to the Cincinnati Freedom Center.
