This is a non-commercial site dedicated to the wild and wonderful place called Harpers Ferry in the State of West Virginia. A unique history and geography invites people with diverse interests to visit this place. Some come to enjoy the rivers, the trails, the views, while others come to consider the events of the past.
While known for events preceding the Civil War, such as John Brown's Raid and for the strategic role it played in U.S. Civil War, it is also known for such great things as Storer College, folk traditions and, yes... floods.
There was a training camp, Camp Ordway, at Harpers Ferry during WWI. The second meeting and the first meeting in this country of the Niagara Movement took place here at Storer College. What a place!
