Harper's Ferry National Historic Park

It wasn't the first time Ty and I had visited Harper's Ferry, but the focus of the trip was different this time. Ty didn't know the difference. He just goes where I take him. It was sunny and in the 70's. The park was crowed. I got the last parking space. After I took Ty for a dip in the river (near the parking lot), we walked to the lower town. On the way back, we walked along the railroad and river. There is history wherever you go.

Established as a national park in 1963
