“The guy that runs it is extremely nice and helpful. My son absolutely loves riding the train. He just turned 2, but when he gets older, they have the little hand cars for the older kids. Everytime I go there, the kids always seem like they are having a blast on those. Plus there's also the museum, which is really awesome as well. This place has been open since I was a little kid, and now I get to take my son there!! Hopefully my son will be able to take his children there as well!!”

“Built to be the home of Robert Harper, the founder of Harpers Ferry, this place is notable for being the oldest surviving structure in town, completed in 1782. Unfortunately, Harper died before he could move in and left it to his niece. Stop by if you're in the area.”

John Brown Wax Museum

Address: 168 High St, Harpers Ferry, WV 25425, USA

Museum

“We stopped at this museum as part of spending the day at Harpers Ferry...and I have to say it was one of the more thought provoking things we have done in awhile. How does one protest something you believe so strongly? The displays are a little dated (for $7, it’s still a great deal)...but the topic seems particularly relevant to today. Highly recommend a stop if you’re in town. You could probably spend plenty of time, but the 30-minute walk through was well worth it.”

“If you want to find out the history of education progress in the USA then you must visit this small museum. The exhibit is very informative about the foundation of the college that provided education regardless of race or sex.

Included is also info about the founding of the NAACP.”

White Hall Tavern

Address: 39 Potomac St, Harpers Ferry, WV 25425, USA

Museum

“At the moment I entered the establishment, I was greeted by a sweet young lady (whether barmaid or publican, I did not ask) who we found to be very knowledgeable and personable. She proceeded to relate to us the events of John Brown’s raid and it’s affect on the community, as well as the period up to and after the war, and how her pub was often central to these events – as a simple escape from the turmoil over a shot of whiskey, provide for social gathering to debate such events, or even to conspire plans to aid in the advancement of one side or the other. Warning, be under no illusions that her charm and attraction means she is simple or meek – she can quickly quench a drunken brawl, as well as pummel the best in an aggressive game of checkers.”
