Harpers Ferry armory, 1824

"All Knowledge begins in Wonder" ~ Plato

The preserved cultural and natural resources of the Harpers Ferry historic landscape provide opportunities to engage students in dynamic American Stories - from 18th century pioneering to 20th century civil rights. These authentic stories and places coupled with hands-on immersion activities create wonder, a powerful motivator in learning.

The education office invites educators to make this place their experiential classroom. Utilizing the power of this place creates learning that is fun, connecting, and long remembered.
