Built in 1848, John Brown's Fort was originally a local fire engine and guard-house. It was renamed when the abolitionist Brown and his followers shut themselves inside during a bloody and ill-fated raid in October of 1859. A fixture of Harpers Ferry National Park, the fort can only be viewed from the outside. It lies in the heart of the park, on the north side of the river.
Park open daily 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
