Wikipedia Description: Kennedy Farm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kennedy Farm is an American landmark where John Brown planned and began his raid on Harpers Ferry, West Virginia in 1859. Also known as John Brown's Headquarters and Kennedy Farmhouse, the log, stone and brick building has retained its historical integrity and is essentially the same as it was in 1859. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on November 7, 1973.

Brown arrived in Maryland in 1859 and rented the house, owned by the heirs of Dr. Booth Kennedy. For three months Brown planned the raid on Harpers Ferry, seven miles away. During that time he assembled his group of family members and followers, as well as a small arsenal of weapons to assault the Harpers Ferry arsenal.

The 2-1/2 story house uses stone, brick and log construction with a stucco overlay. The four-bay house has a double-tiered porch running outside three rooms on the first and second floors. There are two rooms in the attic, and a small shed addition to the rear. An interior stair links the central rooms inside, and an exterior stair links the porch's two levels.

Located at 2406 Chestnut Grove Road in Sharpsburg, Maryland, the house has been restored by the Maryland Historical Trust and is open for tours by appointment.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
