Harpers Ferry National Historical Park preserves the historic town of Harper’s Ferry, which is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. The town is notable for being a center of industry in the 19th century as well as being the site of John Brown’s abolitionist uprising.

The park is located in a very scenic location with rivers, mountains, and beautiful railroad scenes. The town’s buildings are home to several historical museums as well as shops selling food, souvenirs, and local crafts and products. In addition to the park’s historical and cultural buildings, there are extensive recreational opportunities within the park and nearby, including hiking a section of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, whitewater rafting, fishing, and boating.
