Program Date: Wednesday, June 17th
Program Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Location: Zion Episcopal Churchyard
Please join the Harpers Ferry Civil War Round Table and the Harpers Ferry Park Association for a guided tour of historic graves of the Zion Episcopal Churchyard, at 6:00 PM, Wednesday, June 17, 2026. The Church is located at 301 E. Congress Street, Charles Town, WV. Street parking is available in the neighborhood, and we will meet at the S. Mildred Street entrance to the churchyard.
Since 1816, Zion Church has been a center of worship and the final resting place of area residents. Over 70 tombstones among the 1,000 graves bear the name Washington. Many of the interred have connections with American wars, including soldiers and civilians of the Civil War era. We will make our way to the graves of some of these individuals and hear their stories from HFPA-Certified Guides and members of the Round Table.
This event is free and open to the public, but you must reserve your space by contacting Paige Troiano at paigehfcwrt@gmail.com or 240-370-9173. We will carry on in light rain (bring an umbrella), but you will receive an email notification if there is a weather postponement. Although walking distances are minimal, you must be prepared for uneven terrain, brick sidewalks, and standing for the duration of the tour. There is no dinner associated with this program, and there will be no restroom access.
