Description


John Brown House (Chambersburg, Pennsylvania)

John Brown House, also known as the Ritner Boarding House, is a historic home located at Chambersburg in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. It is a two-story, three-bay wide, hewn-log building covered in clapboard. Abolitionist John Brown (1800–1859) stayed here from June until mid-October 1859, while receiving supplies and recruits for his raid on Harpers Ferry. Following the raid, four of Brown's followers returned to the house to be concealed. It is operated by the Franklin County Historical Society - Kittochtinny, as a historic house museum.
