Programs & Workshops
2024 Sponsored Programs & Workshops
Step back into the past and join us on living history event weekends, special events, and other park programs throughout the year! These events range in topic from the War of 1812 and 19th century farming to Civil War medicine and artillery demostrations.
The Harpers Ferry Park Association partners with park rangers and contractors skilled in historic trades to offer unique experiences for the public. Step back in time and learn hands-on how 19th century craftsmen applied their trades during a living history workshop! Spin sugar into beautifully sculpted candy, echo 19th century blacksmiths by clanging hammer to hot iron, or bake a pie the 1860 way in a wood or coal stove.
