It’s time for the #MysteryObject of the week! Can anyone guess what this object was used for?
Come see our temporary exhibit “Brown Opened the Eyes of the World" open now!
View letters written by John Brown; his son Jason Brown; members of the Secret Six, a group of abolitionists who supported John Brown and his efforts against slavery; and citizens who offer unique perspectives on Brown and his raid on Harpers Ferry.
The exhibit will only remain open until mid-December, so make sure you stop in before then!
