In the tip of West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle, where the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers meet, the picturesque little town of Harpers Ferry hugs the steep hills and ravines at the water’s edge. Heralded for its significant role in the construction of the U.S. railroad system and is the location of Storer College that educated former slaves, Harpers Ferry is best known as the place in which abolitionist John Brown led his infamous raid on the federal armory, an event that is said to have been a catalyst of the Civil War.
