The only good thing about having a daughter living on the other side of the country is that she lives in a beautiful place with so many great tourist things to do. My morning walks take me down this road and up to a civil war battlefield.
Harper's Ferry changed hands eight times during the Civil War. The high ground of Bolivar Heights Battlefield is just a mile from Mary's house.
Harper's Ferry is right at the spot where the Potomac and the Shenandoah Rivers come together. At the top of the picture is the Shenandoah and the Potomac is at the bottom.
The whole downtown is a National Historic Park where there are civil war era buildings, actors dressed in period costume to teach and entertain and lots of cute restaurants and shops. Harper's Ferry's other claim to fame is the raid by the abolitionist John Brown.
It's a beautiful place for sure!
Visiting Mary would be wonderful anywhere but I'm really glad I get to visit her in such a historic, picturesque place!
