If you are planning a visit to Harpers Ferry, be sure to contact Rick Garland (www.obejoyfull.com) to set up a guided walking tour. He does a great job at bringing the town and its history alive. Great stories about the town and its inhabitants, plus a touch of music. Thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

I love HF. I have spent hours wandering the streets day and night, talking to local residents about the hauntings that occur regularly in this town. The local hotels are not recommended, but the local Bed and Breakfasts are superb. A friendly town, with a rich and colorful history.

The Quartermaster Tavern was a disapointment and we will never, never eat there again.
