About Sylvania, Ohio

Sylvania is a city in Lucas County, Ohio, United States. General David White is considered the founder of Sylvania as the first pioneer settler and town supervisor, originally from Palmyra, New York. The Lathrop House, built in 1853 by minister Lucian Lathrop and wife Larissa, was used by abolitionists as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Slaves trying to escape to freedom in the north were given food and shelter, in a secret room behind an oven door. (Wikipedia)
