Interested in learning about the history of this shocking event, and curious to hear what it's like to visit today? I'm a former history teacher and run a podcast called The Educator Podcast, which includes a series called Walking History where I visit historic sites, many of them related to the Civil War, and discuss their history and the current condition they're in. I just visited and posted an episode on John Brown's Raid on Harpers Ferry, one of the most important (and bewildering) events leading up to the Civil War, and includes a who's who of Civil War figures, including Robert E. Lee and JEB Stuart. A Civil War battle was also fought there, which I discuss briefly in the episode. I encourage you to check it out!
I was extremely impressed with the town, they have turned it into a National Historic Park complete with era-accurate buildings and shops, museums, historical exhibits and plaques, and the engine house that served as "John Brown's Fort" still stands, although it was moved about 100 feet from its original location. It's the perfect place to spend an afternoon if you live close by or are traveling in the area.
Below is are links to the episode and the Podcast homepage. Hope you enjoy! Feel free to respond/dm me with any questions or comments.
