Closed until further notice. The main visitor center for the Appalachian Trail and one of the most famous landmarks on the entire 2,190-mile national scenic trail. It's considered the 'psychological half-way point' on the Appalachian Trail. All are welcome, from tourists to "thru-hikers" walking the entire trail. The center has exhibits, a gift shop where you can purchase maps, books, and souvenirs. A 10-foot 3D map shows the entire East Coast, with a miniature replica trail shelter built into the back side. By visiting Harpers Ferry, you'll have already started the 14-state challenge, which encourages hikers to visit one location in each of the Trail's 14 states. If you visit lower town historic Harpers Ferry just a half mile away and walk across the footbridge over the Potomac River, you'll have already completed two states.
It was fun to explore the history straight from those who have experienced it!!! Hikers from years past have left notes, journals and other memories so that we can all enjoy!! Informative staff and cozy place for through hikers to relax!

In planning an event we walked through the old North & South Halls, through the West Wings, and into the new ballroom. WOW! It is magnificent. The wall coverings and carpet are beautiful. The new tables and chairs are impressive. The backdrop are where we are going to put the stage is a 3 dimensional white wall that can be washed with colored lights. The outer lobby area over looks the Elk River and has various conversation areas and art displays.
