Abstract:

The Picot-Armistead-Pettiford House, located on the corner of Main and Monroe Streets in Plymouth, was built in the early 19th century by Dr. Julian Picot. Local tradition associates the house with the Underground Railroad.. A trap door leading to a cellar and supposed tunnels is the source of long-held stories. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places and plans call for it to become a museum.
