It was a tad chilly for a 16-month old.... I mean I dont' mind facing the elements, but I don't know if my wife would have let me live if I'd brought home a sick baby....  |

It was raining the night of the raid, so it was realistic for the participants!
Do you know if there is always a museum open there? I seriously want to go to Harper's Ferry. |

One of the most beautiful towns I've seen... Highly recommend it....
Though the food there is bad and over-priced... Maybe the restaurants are going for historical accuracy as well? |

He believed that he was the hand of God. |

Harper's Ferry is like Wlliamsburg or a handful of other US towns in that it gives the feel of a place frozen in time. When I was there reanactors were commemorating Stonewall Jackson's occupation of the town prior to Lee's crossing the Potomac to go to Sharpesburg (Antietam) in 1862. Southern troops were doing close order drill in the park along the Shenendoah river. Fired a canon (blank charge) towards Maryland Mt. Southern pickets were posted in the streets and some challenged people who looked liked Yankees (My blue and white Penn State cap for example) . It was a fun day. |

Maybe someone should grab a framing hammer...
And reset that nail for good.
