The weather looks absolutely perfect for our event this weekend! If you still don't have a ticket for our encore presentation of "The Civil War in Jefferson County," there are just a few left. It promises to be another great presentation by Doug and John, and this time it's on the anniversary weekend of the Battle of Charles Town!

On this day in 1859, John Brown and his men crossed the Potomac River from their headquarters in Maryland into Harpers Ferry, beginning their abolitionist raid. This weekend, biographies from our new exhibit on the raid, featuring the 21 men who joined him in this endeavor, were displayed at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park just in time for the anniversary. If you missed getting to see them at the Park this weekend, stop by the Museum and see the biographies in the context of our exhibit!
