Travel | True Crime | History Hi! I'm Marilyn. After traveling with my family to all 50 states, I am fascinated by the stories this country has to tell. The good ones and the bad ones. The Viva America podcast won’t just share the morbid, terrifying and haunting stories of this nation, but the inspirational, wholesome and inspiring stories as well. Balance is good. Join my son, Cameron, and I as we reflect on the places that we have visited and share stories that fascinate us. Or horrify us. Or inspire us. Or fill us with despair. Or make us want to head out on another adventure.

E6: Harpers Ferry & the white man named John Brown | His attempt at a slave revolt that ended with his demise, but helped ignite the nation.

John Brown was a man that believed he knew what was right and what was wrong. And while his views will ultimately land on the right side of history, his methods are what led to his demise.

The organization we are highlighting this episode is: The Harpers Ferry-Bolivar Historic Town Foundation which “unites two towns with a vision of inspiring citizens and visitors alike with our history, beauty, diversity and hospitality. The Foundation’s initiatives focus on the historic preservation, promotion and beautification of our towns for the enjoyment and benefit of all. We seek to preserve the rich history of Harpers Ferry and Bolivar, learn from its people and build upon their legacies.”
