West Virginia is live on Travelog with one city, Harpers Ferry, home to Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Entrance costs $20 per vehicle, valid for three consecutive days. The park preserves the site of John Brown's October 1859 raid on the federal armory, an event future Confederate general Robert E. Lee helped end while still a US Army colonel, and one of the precipitating incidents of the Civil War.
The three-day 1859 raid, and the surprising future-Confederate general who helped end it, are worth understanding before visiting, covered in full below.
