HARPERS FERRY West Virginia // What to Do and See
Harpers Ferry West Virginia is an historic town. This tiny, hill-side town borders the states of Virginia and Maryland. You can see all three states, and the town by hiking up the Maryland Heights Trail. We visited historical Harpers Ferry on a crisp fall day in October and spent 24 hours seeing the sites and hiking the Maryland Heights Trail to get an overview of the town.

While you could spend more time in the area, we felt that one day was enough to see the town, take in the history, and squeeze in a hike or two.
Disclaimer: National Parks are of the upmost importance to us. We, therefore, refrained from flying over any restricted areas when filming this video. Every precaution was taken to follow regulations set, and the use of B4U Fly and DJI app guided us on which areas were safe to fly. Hope you enjoy!

Harpers Ferry, WV - Most Beautiful Town in the US?
Another contender for the most beautiful town in the USA. Visiting the small 19th century town of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia is literally like stepping through a time portal and walking into history. It's been immaculately preserved or in some cases, reconstructed. It's super small, with less than 300 full time residents, but there's plenty to see and do. Just walking around town and seeing the beautiful architecture, shops, and restaurant is fun enough, but the nature in Harpers Ferry is also amazing!
It's located at approximately the halfway point of the Appalachian Trail and there's hikes all around town. You can hike to get views overlooking the town and it's amazing to see from above. It's located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers and is surrounded by rocky cliffs, and both a car bridge over the river and a railroad trestle. Kayaking and rafting the river is another popular pastime in the area.
It's also located right where three states meet, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia. But only the lovely, underrated state of West Virginia really gets to claim this charming gem. Another thing I love about Harpers Ferry is that it's beautiful to visit in any season.
If you haven't been to visit yet, I highly recommend it. It's a must do for anyone traveling on the east coast.

Exploring Harper’s Ferry in West Virginia | Maryland Heights Overlook + historic sights!
We have made it to Harpers Ferry, the easternmost town in West Virginia, situated at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. The town was an important site during the Civil War and we spent the day exploring the beautiful historic buildings and doing a “sunrise” hike to the Maryland Heights Overlook, which overlooks the town across the river. It was such a fun day getting to walk back in time!

Historic Harper's Ferry, West Virginia
In 1783, Thomas Jefferson stood on a rock overlooking the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers and he declared This scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic.
The small, but strategically located, town of Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, has seen an incredible amount of history since the early days of the young United States right up through the Civil War. The town is located on a point at the confluence of the Shenandoah River and the Potomac River, with Maryland to the north and Virginia to the east. The area is commonly referred to by locals as the Tri State Area. Today, much of the history is preserved and on display as the Harper's Ferry National Historic Park. You can walk around the town and check out the old buildings and read the informational kiosk. You can also hike several national trails, like the Appalachian Trail, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail, Potomac Heritage Trail, and the Lewis and Clark Trail. The town is easy to reach by foot, road, or rail.

Harpers Ferry is a historic town in Jefferson County, West Virginia, United States, in the lower Shenandoah Valley. The population was 285 at the 2020 census. Situated at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, where the U.S. states of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia meet, it is the easternmost town in West Virginia and during the Civil War was the northernmost point of Confederate-controlled territory. It has been called the best strategic point in the whole South.
The town was formerly spelled Harper's Ferry with an apostrophe, so named because in the 18th century it was the site of a ferry service owned and operated by Robert Harper. The United States Board on Geographic Names, whose Domestic Name Committee is reluctant to include apostrophes in official place names, established the standard spelling of Harpers Ferry by 1891.
By far, the most important event in the town's history was John Brown's raid on the Harpers Ferry Armory in 1859.
Prior to the Civil War, Harpers Ferry was a manufacturing town as well as a major transportation hub. (See Virginius Island and Harpers Ferry Armory.)
The main economic activity in the town in the 20th and 21st centuries is tourism. John Brown's Fort is the most visited tourist site in the state of West Virginia. The headquarters of the Appalachian Trail are there—not the midpoint, but close to it, and easily accessible—and the buildings of the former Storer College are used by the National Park Service for one of its four national training centers. The National Park Service is Harpers Ferry's largest employer in the 21st century.
The lower town has been reconstructed by the National Park Service. It was in ruins at the end of the Civil War, not helped by later river flooding. The fact that Harpers Ferry was first and foremost an industrial village during the 19th century is not apparent in the sights, sounds, or smells of the town today.
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, originally Harpers Ferry National Monument, is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers in and around Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The park includes the historic center of Harpers Ferry, notable as a key 19th-century industrial area and as the scene of John Brown's failed abolitionist uprising. It contains the most visited historic site in the state of West Virginia, John Brown's Fort.
The park includes land in the Shenandoah Valley in Jefferson County, West Virginia; Washington County, Maryland and Loudoun County, Virginia. The park is managed by the National Park Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Originally designated Harpers Ferry National Monument in 1944, the park was declared a National Historical Park by the U.S. Congress in 1963. Consisting of almost 4,000 acres (16 km2), it includes the site of which Thomas Jefferson once wrote, The passage of the Potomac through the Blue Ridge is perhaps one of the most stupendous scenes in Nature after visiting the area in 1783. Due to a mixture of historical events and ample recreational opportunities, all within 50 miles (80 km) of Washington, D.C., the park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. In 2017, the Park's Superintendent was Tyrone Brandyburg.
The park was originally planned as a memorial to John Brown, responsible for what is by far the most famous incident in Harpers Ferry's history, his 1859 raid and capture of the federal armory. NPS officials in the 1930s focused on John Brown's raid and the Civil War to justify acquiring parts of Harpers Ferry for a historical and military park. Like the figure of John Brown himself, this proved enormously controversial, with opposition from the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

From Wikipedia:
Hagerstown /ˈheɪɡərztaʊn/ HAY-gərz-town is a city in Washington County, Maryland, United States and the county seat of Washington County. The population of Hagerstown city proper at the 2020 census was 43,527, and the population of the Hagerstown metropolitan area (extending into West Virginia) was 269,140. Hagerstown ranks as Maryland's sixth-largest incorporated city and is the largest city in the Panhandle.
Hagerstown has a distinct topography, formed by stone ridges running from northeast to southwest through the center of town. Geography accordingly bounds its neighborhoods. These ridges consist of upper Stonehenge limestone. Many of the older buildings were built from this stone, which is easily quarried and dressed onsite. It whitens in weathering and the edgewise conglomerate and wavy laminae become distinctly visible, giving a handsome and uniquely Cumberland Valley appearance. Several of Hagerstown's churches are constructed of Stonehenge limestone. Its value and beauty as building rock may be seen particularly in St. John's Episcopal Church on West Antietam Street and the Presbyterian Church at the corner of Washington and Prospect Streets. Brick and concrete eventually displaced this native stone in the construction process.
Hagerstown anchors the Hagerstown metropolitan area, which lies just northwest of the Washington–Baltimore–Northern Virginia, DC–MD–VA–WV Combined Statistical Area in the heart of the Great Appalachian Valley. The population of the metropolitan area in 2010 was 269,140. Greater Hagerstown is the fastest-growing metropolitan area in the state of Maryland and among the fastest growing in the United States, as of 2009.
Despite its semi-rural Western Maryland setting, Hagerstown is a center of transit and commerce. Interstates 81 and 70, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and the Winchester and Western railroads, and Hagerstown Regional Airport form an extensive transportation network for the city. Hagerstown is also the chief commercial and industrial hub for a greater Tri-State Area that includes much of Western Maryland as well as significant portions of South Central Pennsylvania and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Hagerstown has often been referred to as, and is nicknamed, the Hub City. A person born in Hagerstown is officially called a Hagerstonian.

Also known as a gravity hill, we check out a bit of history in the area, and see if the Confederate soldier ghosts will push our car uphill!
