At All Times Ready: The US Marines and the John Brown Raid Anniversary

Experience John Brown’s Raid through the stories of US Marines, townspeople, formerly enslaved men and women and John Brown on Oct. 19 and 20 at Harpers Ferry. Join park-staff and living-history volunteers of the US Marine Corps Historical Company for “At All Times Ready,” an interpretive presentation of how the raid unfolded, transforming Harpers Ferry into a key site in American civil rights history. This program will begin in historic Lower Town on The Green and end at the US Armory Fire Engine House (John Brown’s Fort) each day at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Special thanks to the Harpers Ferry Park Association for their support of this event.
