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 building site survey report details the history of Block F, Block G, and the U.S. Ferry Lot, in the Lower Town area of Harpers Ferry.
