Event Navigation

Professor James Beckman discusses how the natural landscape of Harpers Ferry was a blessing and curse to this small village—allowing an industrial boom but bringing devastation time and again. This talk is part of the 2019 3-day event commemorating the 75th Anniversary of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Park at the Harpers Ferry NHP Visitor Center and take the park shuttle to Lower Town Harpers Ferry. Shuttle buses are handicap accessible.
