 Harpers
Ferry National Historical Park is located at the confluence of the Potomac
and Shenandoah rivers in the states of West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether Lewis, John Brown, "Stonewall"
Jackson, and Frederick Douglass are just a few of the prominent individuals
who left their mark on this place.
The story of Harpers Ferry is more than one event, one date, or one individual.
It involves a diverse number of people and events that influenced the
course of our nation's history. Harpers Ferry witnessed the first successful
application of interchangeable manufacture, the arrival of the first successful
American railroad, John Brown's attack on slavery, the largest surrender
of Federal troops during the Civil War, and the education of former slaves
in one of the earliest integrated schools in the United States.
Let this site help
you learn more about Harpers Ferry. Find out why Thomas Jefferson wrote:
"The passage of the Patowmac through the Blue Ridge is perhaps one
of the most stupendous scenes in Nature."
