3 days in Harpers Ferry Itinerary

With a population of less than 300, Harpers Ferry is as quaint as they come.

Step out of the city life by going to Antietam National Battlefield and River Riders. There's much more to do: sample the fine beverages at Catoctin Creek Distillery, get great views at The Point, stop by True Treats Historic Candy, and contemplate the long history of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
