John Brown's Tannery

On the side road, a short distance south, are the remains of the tannery and home built by the noted abolitionist of Harper's Ferry fame. Here, he lived and worked from 1825 to 1835, employing as many as 15 men in producing leather.

Marker is on Pennsylvania Route 77 west of John Brown Road, on the right when traveling north.
