In the Footsteps of John Brown's Raid
October 17, 2015 |
Join us as we retrace the steps of John Brown and his fellow conspirators on the 156th anniversary of their fateful raid of the Harper's Ferry Armory. We will begin our journey as they did at the Kennedy Farmhouse in southern Washington County, MD, where we will learn about the weeks leading up to the raid. We will then cross over the river into Harper's Ferry where Dennis Frye, the Chief Historian at Harper's Ferry Historical Park, will pick up the retelling of the raid. Not only will this tour inform on the historical context and events, but on it we will also learn the role preservation has played in keeping these historical sites standing for us and future generations to enjoy.
