Why ask the community to preserve The Tavern, when The Madison Historical Society, are only allowed to view it? I think the money could be used for those in bondage today.
I lived in Madison and the Tavern was a place we often frequented as a family for dinner. Nor can I measure the impact seeing the tunnel as child. I attended parties as a child and an adult there.

as posted on facebook, I am contacting you for a free copy of your empty spaces book. I loved looking at your posts on fb. Sad that I don’t see them anymore.
I am so pleased I ordered your book yesterday! It is beautiful, interesting, and thought provoking. I first “discovered” you on YouTube; my favourite video clips are of “The Ledges” and the two of the rain, one from inside a car, and one of the rain coming in the missing glass of the windows of the former Westinghouse building.
I am perusing your book very, very slowly as I find it so fascinating. Thank you for sharing your vision and viewpoints with us. I will write a review for iBooks when I am done looking, which may be quite some time from today! My favourite thus far is the Steele mansion. Well done!
As the Alexander Harper Family Society (AHFS) prepares for it June 22 reunion in the Madison-Ashtabula area, I checked in on the progress of the restoration of the Old Tavern in Unionville, Such great things are happening! We are the Harpers who are associated with Shandy Hall not far from the tavern. We would like to visit the Old Tavern the morning of the June 22nd and have someone get us an update. Who should I contact to see if such a meeting is possible?Julie Noble, Treasurer of the AHFS
Johnny Joo, WOW! WHERE to begin… With my utter praise of your AMAZING work! Furthermore, your writing format in and of itself is so moving, I am in mere awe! I’d love like hell to do an explore with you. For what it’s worth, I too am an Urbexer. Though nowadays OFF-LIMITS, the Detroit Train Station (a 22-story structure), was an incredible place, no doubt. I’d LOVE more info on your works, etc. Your work and your mind, hand-in-hand are absolutely epic!
Hey Joe! That means a lot to me. Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m glad you enjoy the work I share. Hey maybe we will meet somewhere along travels!
Lets Talk
