Site of John Brown’s Famous Raid

Enjoy the spectacular energy of the rivers cutting through the Blue Ridge Mountains, with  a charming and historic old town filled with shops, antiques, dining, and most of all, a unique sense of place.   See if you don’t feel as captivated by Harpers Ferry’s natural beauty as Thomas Jefferson did in 1783:

You stand on a very high point of land. On your right comes up the Shenandoah, having ranged along the foot of the mountain an hundred miles to seek a vent. On your left approaches the Potowmac, in quest of a passage also. In the moment of their junction they rush together against the mountain, rend it asunder and pass off to the sea.

Today the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park surrounds the town, providing visitors with tours, museums, hiking and biking trails, and restored 19th-century streetscapes - all within easy walking distance of the living village.  In Harpers Ferry, real people live in charming antebellum homes and B & B’s.  Restaurants serve contemporary food in historic settings, and the town is lively with artisans, unique little shops, bookstores, antiquarians, whitewater, and outdoor enthusiasts.
