Harpers Ferry is the site of John Brown's Raid. The raiders took refuge in the firehouse, which has become known as John Brown's Fort.

Winding through trails, town, and time, this self-guided audio tour explores the powerful stories and landscapes of Harpers Ferry. Over the course of 3 miles, you’ll journey from quiet riverbanks to dramatic ridgelines, past weathered ruins and historic landmarks that shaped the course of American history. This is no ordinary walk—it’s a deep dive into a place where freedom was fought for, ideas were tested, and the nation’s future often hung in the balance. From John Brown’s bold raid to the legacy of Storer College, each stop brings to life a new chapter of ambition, conflict, and change. With GPS-triggered audio guiding your way, you can explore at your own pace—pausing for a scenic view or reflecting at a historic site. Whether you’re a history lover, a curious traveler, or just here for the beauty, this tour offers a moving and memorable way to experience Harpers Ferry.

A Walking Tour of Frederick, Maryland - The Crossroads of Maryland

I’m Don Burgess, a Frederick resident interested in sharing my passion for heritage tourism and historic preservation as they contribute to preserving and creating a city’s “Sense of Place.” I’ve been a history buff of this region for years, and my role on Facebook as Frederick Tour enables me to combine my love of things old with my skills with things new. I’m a semi-professional photographer who has photographed, shown, and sold images of Frederick, Harpers Ferry, and other regions. See more details about tour in itinerary below and at fredericktour.org We can give tours year round. If it is raining/snowing (light) and you still want to take the tour, we can do that. If it is raining/snowing (hard), we can do a virtual "tour" indoors (groups of 8 or less). Upon request, we can offer theme tours such as churches, architecture, or Civil War, or even photo shoots.
