This has been a busy summer as I am giving lots of tours. In addition to Antietam battlefield tours (as a Certified Antietam Battlefield Guide) and Gettysburg Town Tours (as a Gettysburg Licensed Town Guide), I am now giving Harpers Ferry Tours.

Harpers Ferry is such a neat place to visit, but unfortunately, few who visit ever see the “real” Harpers Ferry. That includes Storer College– the first African-American college in America, Camp Hill and the Bolivar battlefield. Most head over to the Old Town, but how many see the remains of the old Cotton Mill along the Shenandoah River, hear the story of how Merriweather Lewis visited Harpers Ferry, or the floods that ravaged the town, and the many odd and wonderful folks who made Harpers Ferry special, such as Peter Stevens, Robert Hall, John Hall, Nathan Brackett, and of course John Brown.

Contact me if you are interested in one of the tours I mentioned above. With my ongoing back issues, I am not giving longer walking tours, but hopefully, next year.
