STEPPING BACK INTO HISTORY! Harpers Ferry, West Virginia (East Coast RV Road Trip)

- Harpers Ferry, WV is the most preserved historic town we have ever seen... well it should be since it is a National Historic Site! It is amazing to see these preserved buildings set up as shops as they would have been back in the 1800s. We walked up to Jefferson's Rock which is where Thomas Jefferson stood on a cliff and said this is one of the most beautiful places he has ever seen and the view is a reason to cross the Atlantic and come to America!
This town also stands at the point - literally called The Point - where West Virgina, Virginia and Maryland meet... also were the Potomac and Shenendoah Rivers meet. It is a beautiful spot!

Harpers Ferry is my MOST favorite historic town. I grew up in Western Maryland and, in the summertime, I would attend a camp called Camp Manidokan. At some point during the week at camp, we would walk to Harpers Ferry and spend the day. I remember, each time, I went, I would try to get a rabbit's foot at a little store that I dont think exists there anymore. My husband and I actually went to Harpers Ferry on our first date and attempted to hike to Maryland Heights...the mountain with the faded advertisement on it. I love riding the bus from the visitors parking center to downtown and listening to the history and John Denver's song being played over the loud speakers. There is a place near the old general store that you visited that has stairs that ascend up to the upper floors of the building and up those stairs is a recreation of what a bedroom would look like back in the days of the civil war, complete with a mannequin that scared the crap out of me the first time I went up the stairs lol. You used to be able to go in the catholic church, I've been in there before. Not sure when it stopped accepting visitors. One of my favorite places in the town is where you were standing at the Point overlooking the river when the train was going by. Definitely a beautiful spot. If you ever go back to Harpers Ferry, you'll have to do the ghost tour.
How fun was this spot! The candy movie place was awesome!! I love things like that! So beautiful the historical streets and homes! Thanks for sharing!
The opening scene of this video made my heart skip a beat! I have driven that road so many times! I lived in WV for years and consider it my second home. Thank you for showcasing it so beautifully! My first husband's aunt use to make that potato candy and even though it was SO sickly sweet, we loved it. Safe travels!
We camped at the KOA there many years ago. Loved all the history there
That next morning sunrise shot was something else!! 🥰🌄
I loved the old town, old buildings, the old road, & the history. Awesome video.
Very cool small Town. Glad you picked up the Large Box at your Post Office. Stay safe. Cheers.!
Great looking town with a lot of history
Love 💕 Harper’s Ferry. When I was in high school I did a black and white cemetery and cathedral project there.
Wow everything is so beautiful
What a cool old historic town guys thanks for the tour! When I lived in Ocean Springs MS. I lived in a old historic house. Down the hill and over the creek from Highway 90. But there was a train track up there and it sounded like it was at my back door. when I first moved in. So it kept me awake .. I was so tired cuz I was working a lot of nightime hours at the time. But after a while I started embracing the train and it would actually lull me to sleep 😆
Ok, now you are about 20 miles north of me! Over the last month you guys have visited nearly everyplace I have lived or vacationed! Come down to historic Winchester VA!
You guys really know how to vlog the essence of wherever you're visiting. So professional. Always excited to see a new vlog. Thanks!!
This means so much to us! Thanks for your feedback!!
Potato candy was one of my grandma's favorites! We made it for our church social every year.
I absolutely love your RV travel vlogs....
Thanks so much!
Love 💘 West Virginia 💖
I been to Hapers Ferry - the Catholic Church inside is extremely pretty - when you eat in a restaurant and the train goes through the town the whole town shakes so neat
I wish we could have gone inside the church!
Oh geez! My bucket list is getting longer and longer with every video I watch. Never been to Harpers Ferry, but I love Civil War History, so maybe when I do Gettysburg I'll swing by. Thanks for another fantastic video!
It was a great little town and seeing how well preserved it was is extremely interesting!
Also check out Skyline Drive nearby.
Thanks for the tour. Love American history ❤️
Love you guys so much!!! Long time follower and these make me love y’all so much more!!
You'll love the potato candy been making it all my life my mother made it my grandmother made it
Potato candy is great. We make it every Christmas.
I loved trying these old candies!
Unbelievable video, I love it and subscribe.
It's beautiful there no matter what time of the year you go. Glad you had a nice time : - )
Oh my goodness what an awesome historical town! That candy store is so cool! Loved this entire video!!
It was a great to visit Harpers Ferry!
I really enjoy a good road trip and one of the best things to do is visit and explore old churches and graveyards. I like to imagine what the people prayed for in those old places of worship and then visit the graveyards to wonder if those prayers were ever answered. What an amazing journey you had and I thank you for taking us along. I wish you and your family a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and hopefully a much better 2022.
Im glad yall took my advice. Harpers ferry is amazing. And you didnt even go into the civil war importance of the town which also makes the experience so cool. Love the video and watching you guys on this awesome trip.
Thanks for the recommendation, we really enjoyed it!!
Thank you so much for saying Appalachian the right way... you've earned my respect lol
👍👍👍
I live in Harpers Ferry! I wish I would have known you guys were going to be here! Would jave liked to have met you all
Beautiful spot, amazing sun rise.
What a cool place. Thanks for taking us there.
I’m just learning new locations by watching your videos. Never heard of this place but already need to see it in person.
You were right by my house!
Omg Oatmeal Stout! There is a brewery in Frederick Maryland that has the best oatmeal stout!
In the summer, that is a tuber and kayaker Mecca
Beautiful!!! just subbed those Views
Had a train track hundred yards behind my house never bothered me slept through it everyday I grew up there for 20 years you get used to a man it's music to your ears when you hear them
Sorry that you missed out in PA. Next time your up this way, the best place to camp is the Hershey area. It's 45 minutes from Lancaster ( Amish Country) and an hour from Gettysburg.
So a beautiful historic town …I’m surprised they didn’t have evening festivities since it gets dark so early there in the fall….it would look amazing in white lights to aluminate the town ….Great video …can’t wait for the catwalk video 🙌🏻
That would have been great!
If you would have made a left into the town and another left to go to the parking near the train station you could park their for free. If its not to packed though. I live a few miles from there and go hiking there weekly. Another fun fact is that the Appalachian trail headquarters is in Harpers Ferry.
I’m sad you didn’t get to do anything in PA! We go to a local resort that we call a “cruise ship on land” it’s called Pocono Palace in the Pocono Mountains here in PA. If you ever visit PA again, please check it out.
We did enjoy your RV vlog.. I just found them last night. I plan to watch all of them.
Looks like the New River Gorge bridge is coming up...
We had a bnb in Granbury texas. A great town in texas to visit
Potato candy is made with mashed potatoes and powered sugar.
Hope you two had a chance to go to the Harper's Ferry Brewing. Great views from there. Fire pit for when it's cold outside.
We did miss this as we had to get to the campground before dark.
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I loved the tour. You guys almost became pier runners or would that be bus runners!?!
Great Video Guys! It brings back Memories of going there several times over the years with Family and we always enjoyed the History and the feeling of stepping back in time that it gives you. That looks like the KOA that we stayed at was it?
This looks like a Westen town!!! I remember playing with candy Cigarettes then eating them!!!
Patiently waiting for the catwalk video.
It has already posted, check our video list 👍
I just found it.
Hi all, what campground did you stay at near Harpers Ferry? Any recommendations?
Harper’s Ferry Campgrounds! It wasn’t that good! Wouldn’t recommend it!
Hmmmm. Left out the most famous Harpers Ferry landmark and history. I wonder why? 🤔. Maybe it’s included on another video. But if not, it’s no wonder Americans are so ignorant about American history.
What did we miss??
