I lived in Brownville for 7 summers and toured this house every summer. From what I remember of the story the jealous neighbor poisoned a dish and it was meant for the Captain's wife but he ate it instead. Also that is not the original site for the house. it was closer to the Missouri river and was moved brick by brick to the current location.
