The John Brown Farm in the town of North Elba is the home and gravesite of abolitionist John Brown. John Brown died in the pursuit of freedom of slaves, and after an assault on Harpers Ferry to obtain arms in 1859 he was hanged in Virginia. His body was transported back to his North Elba home, along with several of his comrades who aided him in the Harpers Ferry raid.

Today John Brown’s Farm is open to the public and part of the New York state Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. This landmark is a staple of the area and holds significant importance in the history of slavery. The John Brown Farm is a great place to visit to continue your journey through nature and history in the High Peaks region!
