John Brown Bell in Marlborough
At the Union Common in Marlborough (intersection of Main and Bolton Streets) is a rather interesting bell and tower called the John Brown Bell. The story goes that during the US Civil War, Company I from the 13th Massachusetts Volunteer Militia was given the task of removing from Harper's Ferry items from the US Arsenal which John Brown had captured in 1859. A bell was to be brought back to Marlborough for their fire engine house. On the plaque where it now stands is inscribed: "Symbol of a nation's efforts to obtain freedom and equality for its people".
