SUMMARY:Proceed to the Ferry: John Brown's March Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:“We will proceed to the Ferry.” \nWith these words\, abolitionist John Brown launched an attack on the U.S. Armory at Harpers Ferry—an event that helped ignite the Civil War. Follow in the footsteps of Brown’s small “Provisional Army” during this solemn five-mile walk from his headquarters in Washington County\, Maryland\, to Harpers Ferry. This rarely offered experience invites participants to consider how acts of moral conviction have influenced the nation’s course across generations. In addition to the processional walk led by retired park Chief Historian Dennis Frye\, this event includes shuttle service to Brown’s headquarters at the Kennedy Farm (Maryland)\, presentations\, music\, and an authentic period meal. \nRegistration is required for this event due to limited space. \nPlease note that this rain-or-shine event includes elevation changes and walking on road and gravel surfaces. \nWalk Length and Difficulty: Approx. Five (5) Miles | Rated MODERATE to STRENUOUS\, with elevation changes and walking on road and gravel surfaces. \nSponsored by the Harpers Ferry Park Association and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Co-sponsored by the Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau\, with support from the Shepherd University Civil War Center\, Washington County\, Maryland Sheriff’s Office\, Washington County EMS\, Washington County Engineering Department\, and Washington County Highway Department.
