John Brown House Museum

Frommer's Review

Quite unlike the fiery 19th-century abolitionist of the same name, this John Brown was an 18th-century slave trader who amassed a fortune in the China trade. He contributed much of that fortune to the university that bears the family name. The style of his 1786 mansion is Georgian, although after the Revolution, Brown no doubt preferred to think of it as Federal. Visits are by guided tour only.
