The structure, built around 1854 by Samuel Glenn, was later sold in 1855 to John Brown's brother-in-law Samuel Lyle Adair. The cabin provided a home for the Adair family but was frequently used by Brown for abolitionist activities. In 1912, the structure was moved to the highest point in the John Brown Memorial Park which is also the site of the "Battle of Osawatomie" where John Brown and thirty free-state defenders fought in 1856 against 250 pro-slavery militia men. A stone pavilion was built in 1928 to protect the cabin's exterior. The state legislature appointed the Kansas Historical Society to maintain the site and in 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. </h2> <h1 class="km">Kansas Memory<img src="/graphics/km_logo_print.png" alt="Kansas Memory" /></h1> <h1 class="khs">Kansas Historical Society<img src="/graphics/kshs_non_logo81px.png" alt="Kansas Historical Society" /></h1> <div id="container"> <div id="item_image" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <span id="view_image"> <a href="/item/306058/page/1"><img src="https://img.kansasmemory.org/thumb500/00496958.jpg" alt="Adair-Brown cabin, Osawatomie, Kansas - Page " style="width: 485px;"/></a> </span> <br /> <div id="item_access_options"> </div>  <div id="item_donate" style="padding-top: 1em;"> <p class="item_details_small"> To order images and/or obtain permission to use them commercially, please contact the KSHS Reference Desk at <a href='mailto:KSHS.reference@ks.gov?subject=Image%20Request%20from%20KSHS%20Website'>KSHS.reference@ks.gov</a> or 785-272-8681, ext. 117. </p> <br> <p class="item_details_small">For more information see the Copyright and Permission <a href='http://www.kansasmemory.org/faq#question_63797159'>FAQ</a>. </p> </div> </div> <div id="item_details"> <div id="item_description" class="item_details_box"> <div class="noprint item_header_h2"> <div class="control" style="margin-top: 6px;"> <a id="href_item_description" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="toggleItemDetail('item_description_container');" style="text-decoration:none;"><span id="button_item_description_container">- </span></a> </div> <h2 id="item_title"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="toggleItemDetail('item_description_container');" style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Adair-Brown cabin, Osawatomie, Kansas</a></h2> </div> <div id="item_description_container" > <p id="item_summary">This postcard shows the Adair-Brown cabin in Osawatomie, Kansas.
