This cache is about 50 feet from a large bronze statue depicting a nurturing and protective John Brown with his arm around a barefoot child. It was sculpted by Joseph P. Pollia (1893-1954) and cast by the Roman Bronze Works of New York City. It was dedicated May 9, 1935 to John Brown and his comrades by the John Brown Memorial Association, Inc. The statue faces north, perhaps symbolizing John Brown's efforts to move formerly enslaved people north, away from servitude. The circular area around the statue was graded and landscaped under the direction of the State Conservation Department. The shrubs were provided by the Lake Placid Club. The original rustic wood fencing has been removed, but some plantings and portions of the stone walkways from the original design survive.
