John Brown Museum State Historic Site |
 Reverend
Samuel Adair and his wife, Florella were peaceful abolitionists
who came to Kansas and settled near Osawatomie, an abolitionist
community and a center of conflict during “Bleeding Kansas.” The
Adair cabin was a station on the Underground Railroad and Florella’s
half brother, John Brown, pictured at left, used this cabin as his
headquarters. The cabin survived the Battle of Osawatomie where
John Brown and 30 free-state defenders fought 250 proslavery militia
in 1856, and stands on the battle site today. Learn more about the
Adairs, John Brown, and others who struggled to survive the border
war when you visit the John Brown Museum. |
