African-American Settlement in Cambria County

This Settlement was founded in the late 1790's by Edinborough Smith and William Harshberger - whose families have called the Johnstown Area home for over 200 years.

Mound in the Distance

Browns Farm is chalked full of earth and rock mounds, besides a couple of sets of nice walls.

In a couple of weeks, I'll be starting up again to write about the proper history of the area. Right now though, I don't have the time, since the weather has been so nice. I've been spending part of every weekend up there.
