Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, originally Harpers Ferry National Monument, is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers in and around Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The park includes the historic center of Harpers Ferry, notable as a key 19th-century industrial area and as the scene of John Brown's failed abolitionist uprising. It contains the most visited historic site in the state of West Virginia, John Brown's Fort. The park includes land in the Shenandoah Valley in Jefferson County, West Virginia; Washington County, Maryland and Loudoun County, Virginia. The park is managed by the National Park Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Originally designated Harpers Ferry National Monument in 1944, the park was declared a National Historical Park by the U.S. Congress in 1963. Consisting of almost 4,000 acres (16 km2), it includes the site of which Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "The passage of the Potomac through the Blue Ridge is perhaps one of the most stupendous scenes in Nature" after visiting the area in 1783. Due to a mixture of historical events and ample recreational opportunities, all within 50 miles (80 km) of Washington, D.C., the park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. In 2017, the Park's Superintendent was Tyrone Brandyburg. The park was originally planned as a memorial to John Brown, responsible for what is by far the most famous incident in Harpers Ferry's history, his 1859 raid and capture of the federal armory. NPS officials in the 1930s focused on John Brown's raid and the Civil War to justify acquiring parts of Harpers Ferry for a historical and military park. Like the figure of John Brown himself, this proved enormously controversial, with opposition from the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Il parco comprende terreni della Contea di Jefferson (Virginia Occidentale), della Contea di Washington (Maryland) e della Contea di Loudoun (nella Virginia). La struttura viene gestita dal National Park Service, un'agenzia del Dipartimento degli Interni degli Stati Uniti d'America. Originariamente designato come Monumento Nazionale nel 1944, fu dichiarata Parco nazionale storico dal Congresso nel 1963. Esso comprende la storica città di Harper's Ferry, notevole centro dell'industria nel XIX secolo e teatro del raid di John Brown contro Harpers Ferry, un tentativo di insurrezione capeggiata da influenti membri dell'abolizionismo negli Stati Uniti d'America. Composto da quasi 4.000 acri (16 km²), include il sito di cui Thomas Jefferson scrisse a suo tempo: "Il passaggio del Potomac attraverso i Monti Blue Ridge è forse una delle scene più stupende della natura" dopo aver visitato l'area nel 1783. A causa di un misto di eventi storici ed ampie opportunità ricreative, il tutto compreso entro 50 miglia (80 km) da Washington, il parco è stato elencato nel National Register of Historic Places a partire dal 15 ottobre del 1966. Il Sovrintendente è attualmente Tyrone Brandyburg. (it) Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (Historyczny Park Narodowy Harpers Ferry) – obszar chroniony w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Park ma powierzchnię 9,26 km² i w jego obrębie znajduje się miejscowość Harpers Ferry, od którego pochodzi nazwa parku. Obejmuje swoim obszarem także ujście rzeki Shenandoah do Potomaku i okoliczne tereny położone w stanach Wirginia Zachodnia, Maryland oraz Wirginia. Położenie u zbiegu dwóch dużych rzek przyczyniło się do tego, że miasteczko Harpers Ferry w XIX wieku zostało znaczącym ośrodkiem przemysłowym. Znane jest również z najazdu abolicjonisty Johna Browna, który w 1859 roku zaatakował skutecznie fabrykę broni i arsenał. Przyczynił się w ten sposób do wybuchu wojny secesyjnej, podczas której w 1862 roku na terenie parku miała miejsce bitwa o Harpers Ferry. W czasie wojny miasto ośmiokrotnie przechodziło z rąk do rąk, zostało mocno zniszczone i nigdy nie odzyskało dawnej świetności. Przez park przebiega Szlak Appalachów. (pl) |
