Grubb not only operated the first tavern in Burlington, but also had business interests in mining and manufacturing. There are two Victorian Style homes on the estate grounds, and included a tannery, a brewery, and a brickyard. It could be possible that the water channels required for such operations may have given rise to rumors of his anti-slavery actions.
The Grubb Estate stands today as an Underground Railroad site. The estate is currently privately owned.
