John
Brown's Fort
Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
#NC-16730-OP - Notecards
Also available in Assortment Pack #AST-800
Since its
construction in 1848, John Brown's Fort has been vandalized, dismantled,
and moved four times all because of its fame as John Brown's stronghold.
Originally a U.S. Armory fire-engine house, the building was the
site of the capture of the famous abolitionist, John Brown, after
his 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry.
Ransacked
by souvenir-hunting Union and Confederate soldiers and travelers
in the early 1860's, transported to the Chicago Exposition in
1891, later purchased by Storer College and moved to campus, the
building was finally relocated close to its original site by the
National Park Service in 1968.
