At All Times Ready

America’s efforts to fulfill the promise of the Declaration of Independence have often involved conflict, sacrifice, and profound consequences. Few events were as dramatic as John Brown’s Raid on Harpers Ferry. Experience the raid through the perspectives of U.S. Marines, townspeople, formerly enslaved men and women, and John Brown himself. Join park staff and volunteers from the U.S. Marine Corps Historical Company to explore how the raid unfolded and transformed Harpers Ferry into a key site in American civil rights history.  

Sponsored by the Harpers Ferry Park Association and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.  

More details will be added soon.
