The resting place was a location between Greenwich and Salem that was used by fugitive slaves to hide out for a few days before continuing their journey.

It was located in sunken meadow off a remote farm road. The meadow was far enough off of the road that it was hidden from passersby. The resting place was marked by a group of large gathering trees. Large stones used for preparing their food and washing their clothes are still to be seen.

The meadow today has been re-claimed by the forest, and is located on a private farm.
