Harpers Ferry is a quaint town of 300 people that sits at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers at the extreme eastern point of the West Virginia panhandle. This site is directly opposite from the Maryland and Virginia borders.
History buffs recognize Harpers Ferry as a strategic battleground for John Brown's raid and the Civil War. Harpers Ferry is also identified as a key stop along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Today, nature lovers will discover that the Appalachian Trail traces itself directly through the heart of Harpers Ferry.
