Here are some additional photos of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
The most commonly known piece of Harpers Ferry history is that it was the site of John Brown's famous raid in 1859. Planning to arm and free slaves, John Brown and his accomplices hoped to seize weapons from the U.S. Armory and Arsenal located in Harpers Ferry. The band defended themselves from inside a fire engine house that later became known as "John Brown's Fort". After having been dismantled and moved several times, the fort stands in the National Park today and is open to visitors. A white stone obelisk monument marks the original site of the engine house.
A favorite scenic view in Harpers Ferry is "The Point". The Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers converge in Harpers Ferry, and the resulting water gap is lovely to view in all seasons. Visitors can stand at the confluence of the two rivers and see three states: West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia. This is easily reached on foot by people of all ages and abilities, so it is a favorite family photo spot.
I'll upload some more photos shortly.
