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 some 43 buildings and other structural ruins on Virginius Island. The stabilized ruins of homes, cotton mills, factories, dams, and canals are proposed to served as an exhibit in place to effectively interpret the "Decline of the Town Theme."
