Interested in visiting the site of John Brown’s Raid on Harpers Ferry and learning more about this incredibly important, bewildering event?
I visited the town recently and was very impressed with how well they have preserved and recreated much of the old historic town there, they’ve turned it into a real historic tourist destination! Perfect for an afternoon. My only complaint was that although they have a small John Brown museum and the engine house that served as “John Brown’s Fort” still stands, the emphasis of the town is not on him or his raid, but instead on the overall history of the area, and if you weren’t there looking for markers/exhibits of his actions, you might not even realize what had happened there.
I started a new podcast called Walking History where I visit sites like these, discussing their history and the condition they are in today. Hopefully this helps bring them and their history to life, especially if you're too far away to visit for yourself. If you're interested in learning the story of the raid and what it's like to visit it in-person from a former history teacher I encourage you to check it out!

Interested in learning more about the John Brown’s Raid on Harpers Ferry? I created a new podcast called "Walking History" where I tour local historic sites and discuss their history
Hey guys, I posted another episode I did on the First Battle of Bull Run here about a month ago and it got a lot of interest, so I just wanted to follow up and let you know what else I’ve been working on. I recently toured the site of John Brown’s Raid on Harpers Ferry (I know not technically in nova, but it was actually part of Virginia at the time and today it’s right across the river in WV). This podcast has been a lot of fun to make, and I've been very impressed with how well-preserved the sites I've toured so far have been. Hopefully this helps bring them and their history to life, especially if you're too far away to visit for yourself! It's certainly one thing to learn about important moments in history from a book, but it's something else entirely to stand there yourself and visualize the past happening around you.
I've toured John Brown’s Raid on Harper’s Ferry, the First Battle of Bull Run and the Battle of Ball's Bluff so far. Hope you enjoy! Harpers Ferry is an excellent place to spend an afternoon, and if you don’t know much about John Brown or his Raid it’s a great place to start, he is absolutely one of the most fascinating figures in American History, and how there haven't been more movies or tv shows based on him is shocking to me.
