Harpers Ferry Area Heritage ‘s (HFAHS) purpose is to preserve, educate and share Harpers Ferry history, culture and lore. Our greatest focus has been planning the Harpers Ferry Museum which will resemble the original Harper House built in the late 1880’s by David Harper the founder of Harpers Ferry.

A community survey showed a great deal of interest and in the Fall of 2013 the Harpers Ferry Area Heritage Society was incorporated. It began with a group of enthusiastic volunteers who were busy collecting oral histories, artifacts and looking for ways to acquire a facility and site.
