October 16th 2009 was the 150th Anniversary of John Browns Raid on the Armory at Harpers Ferry.......While out for a short ride today, I went by the Kennedy Farm House where John Brown and his Army of 21 lived for 6 months and planned their raid on the Armory!!What a lot of people don't realize is that on this farm was also an African American night club 100 years after John Browns raid.So in the late 50's and 60's just about all the top names performed at the farm in a block building just behind the house.James Brown,Aretha Franklin,Diana Ross,Chubby Checkers,Ray Charles,Tina Turner,and many others played here.......and so today I added some more history to the Kennedy Farm as A Spyder was also here!!If any get a chance to visit Harpers Ferry National HIstorical Park, Harpers Ferry West Virginia.....The Kennedy farm house is about 6 miles from the park.The whole area around Harpers Ferry is a great place to go Spydering!!
