Easy to find and grounds were very well kept. Very interesting piece of history. There are nice nature trails right behind the buildings.
The trails are super nice and you can geocache there as well. People walk dogs there, so watch where you step.
Not all that much there to see, but worth the short drive out of Lake Placid if you are a history buff.
this high peaks area is so incredibly gorgeous…and then to be able to learn that courageous Blacks and John Brown himself was involved…very enjoyable for the kids and a great learning experience for adults…plus so gorgeous!
If you are in this area with family this is a mustOur children need to realize the facts of our treatment of others and how we smuggled them Learn facts
Everyone should go and visit John Brown farm. Plus, the views from the farm are incredible of the ski jumps!
I have been to Lake Placid many times, but finally made a stop at the John Brown Farm on our last visit. My friend who is a local had been telling me that she likes it there and it is beautiful - she wasn't lying.The grounds here are very nicely maintained. Signs depict the history of the land and John Brown's life. It's interesting history to stop and read for a little while. We did not go inside the buildings as they are closed this time of year. The grounds are open during daylight hours year round.My favorite part of the site was all the hiking trails. The trails are well maintained and not too difficult for the average person. We came here too late to see the leaves in their spectacular colors, but I can only imagine how brilliant this area looks during peak leaf season.If you're in Lake Placid and looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of Main St, stop by here and spend some time.
This site was interesting. The landscape was beautiful. There was a ranger who showed us the house and told us information about John Brown's life and death. The tour lasted maybe 15-20 minutes and cost $2 per person. The barn had more information and restrooms, but we were on a schedule and didn't go through the barn.
There is a docent on site to describe what you are seeing in the farmhouse and give some history. There is a fee ($2.00 I think). The graves are interesting and the farm is nice.
This is both a tranquil and scenic place to walk and a historic site. The John Brown family house has interesting artifacts of the Browns' time period. Staff were available to answer questions about the house, land and Brown. The barn had an interesting short video about the slavery era.
