In this first post inspired by my trip to Harpers Ferry, I’m going to dwell on my surprise at finding ruins that revealed Harpers Ferry’s industrial past. Contrary to my expectations, it turns out that the town pictured below, which I assumed had always to be a quaint, bucolic 18th century village, was an important industrial and transportation hub back in the 18th and 19th centuries. I want to bring out that unexpected history with the help of photographs I took during my visit.
