Samples Manor, Maryland

Samples Manor is an unincorporated community in Washington County, Maryland, United States.

These land sales increased after the unexpected death of Iron Works owner John Brein in 1849.

The abolitionist John Brown and his cadre of followers would make history on October 16, 1859, with their raid on the U.S. Armory, three miles away at Harper's Ferry.

Sample's Manor and the Kennedy Farm were the unlikely sites of a major development plan by prominent African Americans in the 1960s.

"John Brown's Farm" included performances by dozens of the top R&B musicians of the late 20th century.
