Tips from locals
High in New York State's Adirondack Mountains is the home and grave of abolitionist John Brown. Many Americans know the song "John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave," but most do not associate the words with this simple farm at North Elba, NY
"This National Historic Landmark and New York State Historic Site contains the home and final resting place of the Underground Railroad conductor and insurrectionist, who moved here in an attempt to establish a community of freed slaves and abolitionists." -Trip Advisor
Long walks with mountain scenery and excellent view of the Olympic ski jumps Learn about John Brown and his Civil War ties to abolishing slavery
The former farm of the abolitionist, and now where his body lie a moulderin' in the grave. Wonderful dog walk and x-country ski trails with mountain views. Walk back behind the barn to see the exhibit on the upper level of "Dreaming of Timbuctoo" which was designed by Karen.
