...couple of hours' tour, continue to Harpers Ferry, site of abolitionist John Brown's notorious raid on the U.S. arsenal. Harpers Ferry, at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, is a great place for family outdoor activities like canoeing, rafting and hiking. At the Historical Park, visit the restored, pre-Civil War Lower Town, with its many living-history demonstrations. Plan to stay at the historic Hilltop House, a century-old stone inn on a bluff overlooking the Potomac and the Shenandoah. Mark Twain and Woodrow Wilson stayed there...
