The St. Peter\u2019s Roman Catholic Church and the B&O Railroad Potomac River Crossing are the other two historic properties located close to the town of Harpers Ferry. The strategic location of the town makes it an important transportation hub. The 3,500km long Appalachian National Scenic Trail passes right through the center of the town, whereas the U.S. Route 340 is the only major highway that provides access to Harpers Ferry. The historic town of Harpers Ferry offers several outdoor recreational activities for the visitors, including mountain biking, rock-climbing, white-water rafting, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, zip-lining, etc. According to the K\u00f6ppen climate classification, the town of Harpers Ferry experiences a humid subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and mild to cool winters.

In 1747, a builder named Robert Harper was requested by a group of Quakers to construct a meeting house in the Shenandoah Valley. Robert Harper bought Stephen\u2019s land and established a grist mill on Shenandoah and a ferry across the Potomac. In 1751, Robert Harper purchased 0.51 sq. km of land from the original owner Lord Fairfax. The town of \u201cShenandoah Falls at Mr. Harpers Ferry\u201d was established by the Virginia General Assembly in 1763. Thomas Jefferson visited the town on October 25, 1783, and greatly admired the scenic grandeur of the area. In 1785, George Washington proposed the construction of bypass canals along the river past Harpers Ferry. The Federal Government purchased 0.5 sq. km of land from the heirs of Harper in 1796. Being already familiar with the area, George Washington proposed Harpers Ferry to be a location for the United States Armory and Arsenal, the construction of which began in 1799. In due course, the town developed as an important center for producing rifles, pistols, muskets, and the armory became the first place in the world where interchangeable parts in firearms were manufactured. In the later years, the arrival of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad transformed the town into a commercial hub.\r\n\r\nJohn Brown's Fort in the historic town of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.\u00a0\r\n\r\nOn October 16-18, 1859, the federal armory and arsenal at Harpers Ferry was raided by an armed group of abolitionists led by John Brown. After the American Civil War began, the town of Harpers Ferry was repeatedly under attack by both the Confederate and the Union forces. Throughout the war, the town suffered greatly and lost its industrial base. After the war, the Freewill Baptist missionaries opened a freedman\u2019s school on Camp Hill. By the end of the 19th century, the town became a summer retreat for the residents of Washington and Baltimore. The Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, which includes the historic center of town, was initially established as a National Monument in 1944 and later redesignated as a National Historical Park on May 29, 1963."},"isAccessibleForFree":"http://schema.org/True"}</script> <script type="text/javascript" async="async" data-noptimize="1" data-cfasync="false" src="//scripts.pubnation.com/tags/af7c1dab-ebf1-4768-8b49-e4fe264a4ad8.js"></script> <style> /* MV CSS to be added to site */ @media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) { .wa-stickyAsideParent #adStickyAside { position: static !important; } } @media only screen and (max-width: 359px) { .pagination_list { flex-wrap: wrap !important; } #content_body h2 { word-break: break-word !important; } } /* End MV CSS */ </style>  <script> var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || []; /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */ _paq.push(['trackPageView']); _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']); (function() { var u="https://matomo.yourwriterportal.com/"; _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'matomo.php']); _paq.push(['setSiteId', '1']); var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; g.async=true; g.src=u+'matomo.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s); })(); </script>  </head> <body> <div id="wa_siteWrapper"> <div id="pageBody"> <article id="article_content" class="mod_content"> <figure class="article_featured_media content_media_fixed blog_featured_media "> <picture style="padding-top: 66.64%;" > <source media="(min-width: 1024px)" sizes="1300px" srcset="https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w1300/upload/b8/17/36/shutterstock-405085381.jpg 1300w"> <source media="(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)" sizes="1024px" srcset="https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w1024/upload/b8/17/36/shutterstock-405085381.jpg 1024w"> <source media="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 767px)" sizes="768px" srcset="https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w768/upload/b8/17/36/shutterstock-405085381.jpg 768w"> <img id="featured_media" src="/upload/b8/17/36/shutterstock-405085381.jpg" alt="Harpers Ferry, West Virginia" fetchpriority="high" > </picture> </figure> <section id="content_body" class="content_body "> <header> <h1>Harpers Ferry, West Virginia</h1> </header> <section> <p>Harpers Ferry is a small historic town situated in the lower Shenandoah Valley, in Jefferson County, in the eastern <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-a-panhandle.html">panhandle</a> of the <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/united-states">US</a> State of <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/united-states/west-virginia">West Virginia</a>.

The Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, which includes the historic center of town, was initially established as a National Monument in 1944 and later redesignated as a National Historical Park on May 29, 1963. </p> </section> <div class="article_credits_social"> <strong>Share</strong> <ul class="navSocial"> <li><button class="socialAction wa_badge_black icon-flipboard-icon" data-url="https://share.flipboard.com/bookmarklet/popout?v=2&title=Harpers%20Ferry%2C%20West%20Virginia&url=https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/harpers-ferry-west-virginia.html" aria-label="Share on Flipboard"></a></li> <li><button class="socialAction wa_badge_black icon-facebook" data-url="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/harpers-ferry-west-virginia.html" aria-label="Share on Facebook"></button></li> <li><button class="socialAction wa_badge_black icon-twitter" data-url="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldatlas.com%2Fcities%2Fharpers-ferry-west-virginia.html&text=Harpers%20Ferry%2C%20West%20Virginia&url=https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/harpers-ferry-west-virginia.html" aria-label="Share on Twitter"></button></li> <li><button class="socialAction wa_badge_black icon-pinterest" data-url="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/harpers-ferry-west-virginia.html" aria-label="Share on Pinterest"></button></li> <li><button class="socialAction wa_badge_black icon-linkedin" data-url="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/harpers-ferry-west-virginia.html&title=Harpers%20Ferry%2C%20West%20Virginia&source=WorldAtlas" aria-label="Share on LinkedIn"></button></li> </ul> </div> <section class="mod_breadcrumbs "> <ol itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/BreadcrumbList"> <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ListItem"> <a itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/WebPage" itemid="https://www.worldatlas.com" itemprop="item" href="https://www.worldatlas.com"><span itemprop="name">Home</span></a> <meta itemprop="position" content="1"> </li> <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ListItem"> <a itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/WebPage" itemid="https://www.worldatlas.com/places/" itemprop="item" href="https://www.worldatlas.com/places/"><span itemprop="name">Places</span></a> <meta itemprop="position" content="2"> </li> <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ListItem"> <a itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/WebPage" itemid="https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/" itemprop="item" href="https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/"><span itemprop="name">Cities</span></a> <meta itemprop="position" content="3"> </li> <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ListItem"> <a itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/WebPage" itemid="https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/harpers-ferry-west-virginia.html" itemprop="item" content="https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/harpers-ferry-west-virginia.html" href="https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/harpers-ferry-west-virginia.html"><span itemprop="name">Harpers Ferry, West Virginia</span></a> <meta itemprop="position" content="4"> </li> </ol> </section> <div class="article_byline"> <span><a href="/contributor/diptarka-ghosh" class="content_contributor">Diptarka Ghosh</span></a> January 6 2022 in <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/places/">Places</a></span> </div> </section> <section class="article_after_content no-left-right-margin"> <h2>More in <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/places/">Places</a></h2> <div class="mod_grid_list grid_read_stack"> <article class="grid_item mod_bclip bclip_full_16x9" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/WebPage"> <div class="bclip_container"> <a href="/cities/7-towns-in-indiana-that-transport-you-to-the-past.html" itemprop="relatedLink"> <figure class="bclip_media_box" itemprop="image" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <picture> <source media="(min-width: 768px)" sizes="400px" srcset="https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w400-h225-q40/upload/1d/42/49/shutterstock-2105064167.jpg 400w"> <source media="(min-width: 575px) and (max-width: 767px)" sizes="575px" srcset="https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w575-h323-q40/upload/1d/42/49/shutterstock-2105064167.jpg 575w"> <source media="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 574px)" sizes="425px" srcset="https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w425-h239-q40/upload/1d/42/49/shutterstock-2105064167.jpg 425w"> <img class="bclip_media" src="/r/w1200/upload/1d/42/49/shutterstock-2105064167.jpg" alt="The business district on Wabash Street, Wabash, Indiana.
