John Brown Memorial Tour

This series of tours commemorates the 150th anniversary of Brown's failed raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Va. in 1859.

Brown lived in Akron off and on from 1844 to 1854.

The 1910 John Brown Memorial is located in Perkins Woods on land maintained by the Akron Zoo.

Participants should tell the Zoo parking attendant that they are there for the guided tour.

The Aug. 15 & 16th tours will be conducted by Dave Lieberth, Akron's deputy mayor for administration.
