"We, of course, went down immediately." 😂 love their adventurous spirit.

[RocKnight]

That's a nice looking bookstore.
It has a charming atmosphere.

[junvinak]

That PVC under the stairs looks so clean

[chriscraven]

GREAT HISTORY lesson, must be a slow day for news

[BBBUrMom]

What evil. Putting porcelain dolls down there for the next person 😂

I found same thing in a house in chasn sc doing some repair work
homeowners didn't even know it was there.100 foot tunnel running from house to rear of property.

[itsnowornever]

I wouldn’t go down alone. You may get trapped and no one will hear you cry for HELP then your family and friends will report you missing and a decade later someone will find the secret tunnel and find your remains 😳

[shadwChser]

It’s a book store! Make it the secret cafe!

[HomesForSaleEnsenada]

You know he took all the hidden money out before he called NBC

[timothywalker]

I wonder if there is a way to figure out if something is connected to the “underground railroad” a common construction technique, matching designs with known hide-sites. Otherwise it’s documentation through known abolitionist in the area, newspaper’s diaries. This hidden space either a still site or stash house, still it’s a cool spot and it’s good for buissnes😎

I'm upset that they showed this. Now where will I get my drinks?

[SheriffSparky]

My grandfather ran booze during prohibition from a drug store in West Indianapolis. He ran gambling on the second floor.

[HippieBits]

I think it’s important to preserve the history and allow the African-American museum and Evansville Museum of natural history to preserve the room, so the story of our brothers and sisters can be remembered and shared.
Also, please do not cover up history with jokes and porcelain dolls. That’s disrespectful and makes me sad.

[rarelyaccurate]

They hold have kept their mouth shut and renovated it to make it nice, think about all that extra square footage they could have had in the underground tunnel.

[ichosecommonsense]

Aww i wanna secret tunnel under my livingroom floor. All i got is some mud.

[traildoggy]

War on Drugs didn't work then either.

I would just paint the girl from the Ring movie in a corner.

[cherylstortvedt]

Do something fun? The spirits of the people that had to go down there will tell you it wasn't fun....

[kevinblessing]

We have these all over the city of Sheboygan, in Wisconsin. This was a major buyer of booze, and vacation spot for the Chicago mob.
