HARPERS FERRY, W.Va. — Located at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers, Harpers Ferry is home to the iconic John Brown Fort, where abolitionist John Brown and his raiders made their last stand, the charming historic Lower Town, and the original campus of Storer College. For 25 years, Storer College was the only school in West Virginia where people of color could receive education beyond the primary level.

From the park, visitors can walk across the Potomac River from West Virginia into Maryland and visit the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park towpath (also part of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail). Alternatively, hikers can traverse the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it winds through Lower Town.
