(June 8, 2023, 4:03 pm)I called them a few days before we visited the town of Bartow to see if they were going to be open the day we were going to visit. They opened just for us and gave us a private tour. It was the highlight of our day trip!!! I highly recommend visiting this historic home!!! It is so well kept and the people were so welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly!!! We will definitely be going back to visit!!!
They accept donations and I recommend that you support such a lovely place!

What an inspiration Mr. Brown is....from being born in slavery to successful business man. They were so kind, especially with our kids. Taught them how to pump water from the ground and also showed them an old water well. We enjoyed it immensely. Congratulations to their organization that preserved the history of this great man.

Mr Lewis, who runs the non-profit that manages the home, shares so much knowledge and enthusiasm about the freed slave who built this home in the late 1800s. Our tour lasted about 40 minutes and we enjoyed every minute of it.
