Harper's Ferry

Eli and I at the Armory Fire House (aka John Brown's Fort) Dustin and I at Jefferson's Rock Dustin and I at St. John's Episcipal Church Ruins of the St. John Episcipal Church Lily, Brian and Eli This Saturday we met Dustin's parents in Harper's Ferry, WV. We walked around the town and learned about John Brown and all of the Civil War events that took place there. We had a great time visiting with each other. If you get a chance, everyone should look up the history of this little town that has been around since before the Revolutionary War. Chosen by George Washington as the location for the 2nd US Armory, visited and described by Thomas Jefferson (Jefferson's Rock is the spot he stood to look out over the town), and the spot of John Brown's failed Slave Revolution a year before the Civil War.
