The May Tea & Talk Series will explain how poor farms in rural communities, like Knox County, Ohio, often stood as a model of self-reliance and community preservation. Brown will also explain how the architecture and landscaping of these institutions played a significant role in caring for the poor.

She has a double B.A. in Archaeology and Anthropology from The College of Wooster and an M.A. in History with a focus in historic preservation and public history from Youngstown State University. Brown is currently a park guide at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
