seekers and some of those folks stopped at the ton farm. this site is a stop on the journey. when we finally did the very deep map and archaeological research that the actual site of the ton farm is on the property of what is now called chicago's finest marina, which is the oldest black—owned marina in the chicago region. we're part of chicago but we're also part of a deep, rich history that has not been told yet. the property was actually used during the underground railroad to hide freedom seekers who were coming from all over, trying to escape slavery down south. and just to look off into the water and wonder what their travels were to get this far and this close. the mixed emotional thing because it is an honour being the owner but also, you are kind of like the keeper of the records.
