Ripley was a busy river port, but it's best known for its fight against slavery. The historical marker at the John P. Parker House tells that story. John Rankin and John P. Parker were among the town's Underground Railroad conductors. Ripley's network earned it the name "Black Hole of Abolitionism." The marker stands at Parker's home at 300 North Front Street. You can find that street printed beside the river on this map.
Keep Main Street and East Ripley close
Created by KNOWOL in 2026, the print uses green hill shading, blue water and deep red buildings within a cream border. The title panel reads "Aerial View of Ripley, Ohio" with 38°44' North, 83°50' West and a half-mile scale bar.
