Eleutherian College: Fascinating Indiana Historical Site

Historic Eleutherian College, Inc. posted a link to a recent YouTube video interview from History in Your Own Backyard, "Eleutherian College, Lancaster, Indiana."  The video runs for approximately 12 minutes and includes an interview with David Hardin of Historic Eleutherian.  There are also a number of internal and external views of the college building and surrounding grounds.  Hardin provides historical background on the founding of the college and the activities of the group dedicated to restoration of the property.

Eleutherian College was founded by abolitionists in 1848, to serve as an educational institution for students regardless of race, gender, economics or religion. The current two-story building, constructed in 1853, is located in Lancaster, IN.
