Please save the date of May 9, 2023 for the new re-opening of the John Brown House. This event was originally planned for October 16th.
We look forward to hosting presenter and magician Rory Rennick who will tell the story of Henry "Box" Brown. Henry Brown shipped himself to freedom and a replica of his box is on display in the John Brown House. When John Brown was hanged on December 2, 1859, a locket of his hair was shared with the family of Henry "Box" Brown.
More details soon!
