House Washington Found Passage Slave

If they can preserve the structures and stop decay I think they should leave them on display. It is a part of history and tells a story on its own as to how the people lived in those times. Perhaps in time people would be able to use the passage and what better place to describe the people who used them then in the tunnels themselves. Would give a better feel to the stories to the reader.
