JEFFERSON ROCK Description: Jefferson Rock, July 31, 1890, from a tourist photograph. Thomas Jefferson was personally familiar with Harpers Ferry, having traveled to the site on October 25, 1783. Jefferson stood on this very rock and subsequently penned a memorable description of the view in his "Notes on the State of Virginia." His remarks conclude with the emphatic declaration: "This scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic." Credit: Harpers Ferry NHP Historic Photo Collection (HF-567) Year: 1890 |
