Harpers Ferry is best known for John Brown's raid on the Armory in 1859 and its role in the American Civil War..We toured the Armory and other areas, i have some pics buried somewhere around the house...wife calls me a hoarder..lol..

My wife is originally from KY, once visiting her folks we made a trip over to Lincoln's birthplace...I only remember going thru his log cabin...
been to harper's ferry, it is interesting. we went to springfield a few years ago. went to lincoln's tomb, and they had just opened the new abe lincoln museum, which is fantastic.
