John Brown was a man that believed he knew what was right and what was wrong. And while his views will ultimately land on the right side of history, his methods are what led to his demise.
The organization we are highlighting this episode is: The Harpers Ferry-Bolivar Historic Town Foundation which “unites two towns with a vision of inspiring citizens and visitors alike with our history, beauty, diversity and hospitality. The Foundation’s initiatives focus on the historic preservation, promotion and beautification of our towns for the enjoyment and benefit of all. We seek to preserve the rich history of Harpers Ferry and Bolivar, learn from its people and build upon their legacies.”
