On this parcel of land was once the residence of Robert E. Fee (1796-1879). Fee became involved in the rescue attempt of Fanny Wigglesworth and her four children, who were kidnapped and enslaved. After two unsuccessful attempts, he dedicated himself to helping the enslaved escape to freedom. In 1852, Fee was indicted by Pendleton County, Kentucky Grand Jury for slave stealing, however the Governor of Ohio refused to extradite him to stand trial.
