John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry was an effort by armed abolitionist John Brown to initiate an armed slave revolt in 1859 by taking over a United States arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Brown's party of 22 was defeated by a company of U.S. Marines, led by First Lieutenant Israel Greene. Colonel Robert E. Lee was in overall command of the operation to retake the arsenal. John Brown had originally asked Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, both of whom he had met in his transformative years as an abolitionist in Springfield, Massachusetts, to join him in his raid, but Tubman was prevented by illness and Douglass declined, as he believed Brown's plan would fail.

PA Welcome Center on Route 15South

I like this welcome area on Route 15 South in Pennsylvania. I went there soon after it opened in 2003 and have visited it maybe thrice since. It's actually a nice place to spend time, spacious inside with rocking chairs and of course plenty of info along with knowledgeable staffers on hand. Outside is where you see these scenic views.
