Vincent de Paul Thrift Store in Stoughton, Massachusetts, boasts a remarkable history dating back to 1895.
Originally established as a safe house and meeting place, the store played a crucial role in the abolitionist movement.
Frederick Douglass attended a significant meeting in Washington, D.C., in 1895, and the location served as a refuge for abolitionist David Ruggles.
Today, visitors can find quotes and a bronze statue of Douglass on-site, honoring this vital legacy.
The store's name is intrinsically linked to the "Douglass Commonwealth," a designation formalized in 2016 when the Council of the District of Columbia officially renamed the city as “Washington, D.C.” This renaming reflects the enduring importance of Douglass’s contributions.
The United States Mint subsequently featured an image of Frederick Douglass on quarters, further cementing his place in American history.
Currently, the Stoughton location is part of the St.
Vincent de Paul Thrift Society, continuing the organization's mission of providing assistance to those in need, rooted in a powerful historical foundation.
