The small town of Harpers Ferry in the Eastern Panhandle is often referred to as a gateway into West Virginia. It was a prominent place during the American Civil War, and it was the site of John Brown’s Raid.

Today, it’s home to the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park as well as nearly 300 residents. The park along with the commercial area of the town sees thousands of visitors each year from around the country and all over the world.
