JOHN BROWN FAMILY-GUNSMITHS
Around 1845 John Brown of Poplin, now Fremont built this gun shop, and with sons Andrew & Freeman spent 62 years producing fine target and hunting rifles, shotguns, and pistols. During the Civil War these prominent gunsmiths made firearms for the U.S. Government, and in 1861 their gun shop served as a recruiting office enlisting Union sharpshooters.
