I’m glad I made the stop at Harpers Ferry. It’s a beautiful and historic town that was well worth visiting, though I found a few hours was enough time to see the main highlights.

My favorite parts were walking across the bridge over the rivers and hiking up to Jefferson Rock for the views and history. The shuttle service was excellent and made getting into town easy and stress-free.

Overall, it was a very nice visit with plenty of charm, scenic views, and interesting history. I’d definitely recommend stopping if you’re passing through the area.

There was a Parking fee based on number of hours you park, if you have national pass then no charge.
We do have a shuttle service for the commute which is free. It was a truly pleasant hike, surrounded by towering trees that seemed to fill the air with fresh oxygen. The wonderful weather played a major role in keeping us motivated and energized throughout the journey 😁. We completed the hike much earlier than we did last year.

Truly my happy place. Harpers Ferry has everything you need for the perfect day trip (or longer). Spectacular scenery, historical significance, awesome hiking trails, and great shops and restaurants. And much more.

Great town to spend an afternoon. The Rabbit Hole has good food and fair prices. $20.00 per car and that includes bus transfer to town. Amtrak stops here, not sure how often. The hike to Jefferson Rock is steep but doable.

My first visit and looking forward to returning. So much more to explore!
The colonial architecture was my favorite. Next time I would like to walk the trails.
