Summary
As a tourist destination at its current location in Nebraska City since 1937, the Mayhew Cabin and "John Brown's Cave" were a commercial enterprise created by Edward Bartling; however, its importance to the state of Nebraska is more complex. With its connections to known abolitionist John Henry Kagi, and location that facilitated easy access across the Missouri River into Iowa, whether real or imagined, this property provided local residents, and Nebraskans at large, with an easily accessible connection to significant figures in American History, such as John Brown and the Underground Railroad. With skepticism and intrigue surrounding the property, the cabin and cave serve as a unique piece of Nebraska folklore.
