The web site at (visit link) tells us, in part:

Beckley was a man of firm and ardent beliefs. He was well established in Ann Arbor as a minister and lecturer, active in the antislavery movement. He published an influential abolitionist paper, The Signal of Liberty, edited by Theodore Foster. Beckley's house was an important "underground" station on one of the routes from the south.

The house is currently a private home, and is not open to the public. You can get a nice look at it from the sidewalk.
