Harpers Ferry is a historic town located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers in West Virginia. The town played a significant role in American history, particularly during the Civil War era.
Originally established as a ferry crossing in the 18th century, it became an important industrial center with the establishment of the United States Armory and Arsenal in 1799. The town gained national attention in 1859 when abolitionist John Brown led a raid on the armory, an event that helped precipitate the Civil War.
Today, much of Harpers Ferry is preserved as Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, which includes restored buildings, museums, and exhibits that tell the story of the town's industrial, transportation, and civil rights history. The town's unique position at the meeting point of West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland, combined with its preserved 19th-century architecture and cultural sites, makes it an important destination for those interested in American history and heritage.
