Spend a day at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park exploring family-friendly attractions and learn about the region’s role in early American life and the Civil War. The park encompasses over 3,600 acres (1,500 hectares) across West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia and contains several museums, historic buildings, Civil War battle sites and trails. Wander through the lower part of the town of Harpers Ferry, where exhibits are housed in historic buildings. At the John Brown Wax Museum, find out about the failed raid led by the famous abolitionist John Brown. He planned to steal weapons for use in a slave rebellion, but he was caught, tried and ultimately hanged. The incident was a key catalyst for the Civil War. Join a ranger-guided tour to hear more about the region’s history. Routes and topics covered on these tours change regularly so check ahead on the website to see what is happening during your visit. Alternatively, embark on a guided horse-and-wagon tour, which is available for an additional fee. Head off independently to walk along scenic hiking trails. More than 20 miles (32 kilometers) of trails crisscross the park and range from gentle riverside strolls to challenging mountain treks. Some routes lead past Civil War battle sites and others merge with sections of the famous Appalachian Trail or the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park footpath. As you hike, be alert for geese, turtles and beavers and try to spot Civil War cannons. Workshops focusing on historic trades are also held in the park. Book spots in advance if you want to participate. Discover old-fashioned recipes at cooking classes or hone your skills at a tinware workshop. Harpers Ferry is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. Purchase a pass for the park at the Harpers Ferry National Park Visitor Center south of town. Consider parking at the visitor center as spaces in town are extremely limited. A shuttle bus operates between here and the town. ## Plan a trip to see Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Price found within the past 48 hours.
