The John Brown tannery site has been preserved through the ongoing efforts of interested people form Crawford County and elsewhere. The site is owned by the John Brown Heritage Association, a private non-profit organization established in 1974. It is a successor to other volunteer-based groups that began working to preserve the site as early as 1916.

The JBHA goals are to:

* Maintain the John Brown tannery site for public visitation

* Seek, document and preserve John Brown related artifacts and Information

* Dramatize the expansion of human freedom embodied in the antislavery movement and John Brown especially.

* Study and interpret early 19th century U.S. history as it relates to John Brown's life and times.
