URSCC purchased the James E. Bonine House and Carriage House in December of 2010, and is well on the way to restoring both iconic structures. James E. Bonine, Quaker and staunch abolitionist, came to Cass County from Wayne Co. Indiana in 1843, married Sarah Ann Bogue (daughter of Stephen Bogue, shown below) in 1844, and built their Greek Revival farmhouse around 1845. After the Civil War, the home was enlarged in the Second Empire style, adding the tower and the north addition. The Bonine House is open for touring Tuesday-Saturday June through September from 1-4pm. Much more information as well as restoration photos can be found at www.urscc.org/boninehouserestoration. The first floor of the Bonine House will be available for private and community events. The second floor tells the story of the UGRR in Cass County, with a library and display rooms.
