John Brown Farm State Historic Site, Historic farm and landmark in North Elba, United States.
The John Brown Farm features a preserved 19th-century farmhouse, burial grounds, and interpretive trails within the Adirondack Park natural setting.
The farm gained significance in 1859 when abolitionist John Brown was buried there following his execution after the raid on Harper's Ferry.
The permanent exhibition 'Dreaming of Timbuctoo' presents the history of Black families who established farming communities in the Adirondacks during the 1840s.
The visitor center opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM, while the grounds remain accessible from sunrise to sunset daily.
Located at the highest elevation of any farm in New York State, the site includes both John Brown's residence and the graves of fellow Harper's Ferry raiders.
