Harper's Ferry

[isabelladangelo]

I *love* going to Harper's Ferry in the fall. It's a great historical town that has gorgeous fall color when the leaves are turning. I looked up some fall events around the time the leaves should be at their peak and...

October 29-30 – “Under Fire: The Battle of Harpers
Ferry 1862”
Time: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: Bolivar Heights Battlefield
Join the members of the Baltimore Light Artillery as they
demonstrate the might and intimidation of field artillery.
Firing demonstrations at 1,2,3 p.m.

November 5-6 - "Roeder's Tavern Cider Making 1860"
Time: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: Lower Town
Join living history rangers and volunteers for cider-making
demonstration and fall food preservation.


Anyone feel like dress up al la 1860 and checking these out? I'm slightly more inclined to the Nov 5th Cider Making because CIDER yum! but both events sound interesting.

My archaeology professor, Dr. Shackel, has done a lot of work there. We read his books about Harpers Ferry, but he assured us that proceeds from his books go into a scholarship fund for prospective college student who are poor. He didn't want us to think he was profiting off of our assigned class book list. Also, he handed me my diploma in May. I can go scrounge up the names of the books, if you are interested.

I looked up the books online. Thank you for telling me about them! I think I might already have one of them.
