“The organization's collection includes an oil canvas painting of a portrait of john, alfred charles and sue cook as children. The painting is dated 1857/1859, is 48"x36"x1- and signed by wheeler. The cooks were friends of the jordans and john cook married ella jordan. Their portraits as adults hang on the wall opposite to this portrait. The painting is used to discuss visual gender cues, history of artwork at this time and to illustrate one of the reasons close family connections meant the underground railroad was so successful in this time.”
