Overview
Harpers Ferry sits where West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland converge — one of the most historically significant small towns in the United States.
Located at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers, Harpers Ferry is known for John Brown's 1859 raid on the federal arsenal and its pivotal role in the lead-up to the Civil War. Today it is a National Historical Park town surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Appalachian Trail — a place of outdoor recreation, history, and community.
For the Stadum-Lloyd family, Harpers Ferry became a lived place. Amy Lloyd, Marvin Lloyd, and their children Delaney, Remy, and Mason have all lived here. Kristin Stadum also has a connection to this area, which appears on her places map as part of her Virginia/West Virginia chapter.
