As the final resting spot for abolitionist John Brown, the
John Brown Farm and Gravesite encompasses the original 244 acres purchased by
the Browns in 1849. After Brown and his
followers were executed for treason for the raid at Harper’s Ferry, WV John Brown’s name soon became synonymous with the anti-slavery movement.
There are four marked trails with distances from .03 miles
to 1.8 miles in length. Dogs are welcome but should be on a lead while on the
trails.
