Harpers Ferry National Historical Park

 

Lots of wildlife to see. 

It is nice that the shuttle will drop you off right in 

the historic town. 

We always love the videos that 

the National Parks put together to give you 

the overall history.

It is a short walk to see where the Potomac River and

Shenandoah River converge. 

You can also see three states, Virginia,

West Virginia and Maryland. 

This is where George Washington chose to have an armory.

 Many factories and mills were also located 

in this beautiful area.

The Appalachian Trail, C&O Canal towpath,

Potomac Heritage Trail.

Once again, there is so much history

about Harpers Ferry. If you want to know more, 

below is a link to some of the stories and great photos. 

Learn more of the historical stories.

While we were in the area we stopped at the

 Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National 

Historic Park

to see the locks on the Shenandoah River

and the beautiful 

  Great Falls.

The water levels were down but still a great 

place for a short hike to get out into nature. 

This looks like a natural hot tub to us!
