HARPER HOUSE

Description: The Harper House, erected between 1775-1782 by town founder Robert Harper, is one of the few buildings that remains from the time when Meriwether Lewis visited Harpers Ferry. From 1782-1803, the building served as the town's only tavern, hosting such notable guests as Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.
