Harpers Ferry National Historical Park preserves historic resources and commemorates the historic events that occurred at and around Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The park consists of portions of the Lower Town, the former Storer College campus, landscapes associated with the national historical park’s Civil War significance, and lands preserving the historic viewshed down the Potomac River. This historic structure report concerns the John Brown's Fort (Bldg. 63) in the Lower Town area of Harpers Ferry. The park proposes that the building be the focal point for interpretation of John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry. The interior will be refurnished as it may have appeared during the historic event and will be operated as a museum-type exhibit. The fort structure is part of Development/Study Package Proposal No. 113, development of which will be in accordance with both the Mission 66 master plan for the park and the new master plan draft revised in August 1971.
