Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
This centuries-old town has a unique history. It was put on the map when in October of 1859 John Brown and 21 other men raided the town’s arsenal in an attempt to supply a slave uprising.
It was amongst the uprisings that sparked the Civil War a year later.
Now, the town has a sleepy feel to it and still conserves much of its 19th-century history. A visit to the 1859 John Brown’s Fort and the True Treats Historic Candy shop is a must.
