It is located at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers, where the U.S. states of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia meet. The town was founded in 1747 by Robert Harper, who established and maintained a ferry across the Potomac River. It quickly grew into an important transportation and industrial center. In 1799, the United States government established the Harpers Ferry Armory, which produced weapons for the US military. Harpers Ferry played a significant role in the American Civil War. In 1859, abolitionist John Brown led a raid on the Harpers Ferry Armory in an attempt to arm slaves and start a rebellion. Brown's raid was unsuccessful, but it helped to spark the Civil War. Harpers Ferry was also the site of the largest surrender of Union troops during the Civil War, where Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson captured the site and some 12,000 Union soldiers. Today, Harpers Ferry is a popular tourist destination. The town is home to a number of historic sites, including the Harpers Ferry Armory, John Brown's Fort, and the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Thanks for watching.

Jefferson County, West Virginia - Unravel Travel TV
Jefferson County Convention & Visitor's Bureau invite you to 'Discover it All' in 'Wild and Wonderful West Virginia. Jefferson County's proximity to the Washington and Baltimore metro areas make it a neat place to visit on your way and its perfect for international visitors arriving into Washington Dulles, being just one hours drive away. This Eastern Panhandle of the state offers a wealth of history. There was action in Jefferson County in every year of the Civil War, including but not limited to the surrender of 12,500 Union troops to Stonewall Jackson's forces in September 1862 at Bolivar Heights. The other military actions included the many raids of General John S. Mosby and his men, the Great Train Robbery, the two battles of Charles Town, the battle of Shepherdstown and when General Early faced General Sheridan at the battles of Summit Point and Smithfield. Historians recently identified thirty-three Civil War sites in Jefferson County.
The Harpers Ferry National Historic Park is visited by many. A visit to this quaint, historic community, at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, is like stepping into the past. Stroll the picturesque streets, visit exhibits and museums, or hike our trails and battlefields. John Brown brought his men to Harpers Ferry, and commandeered the federal arsenal on the late evening of October 16, 1859. Their purpose was to secure the guns at the arsenal to arm and free the slaves.
The courthouse in Charles Town, which is still in use today, was the site of the Brown trial and two of the only three treason trials in the United States. The Jefferson County Museum in downtown Charles Town has on display many John Brown and Civil War items including the wagon that carried Brown to his execution, several pikes (weapons), the desk he used in his jail cell, a copy of the provisional constitution and the gurney he laid on during the trial. The historic Charles Town Walking Tour includes the hanging site, the trial site, the museum and the reading room where John Wilkes Booth did Shakespearean readings to entertain persons who attended the John Brown trial.
In Jefferson County, many homes became hospitals throughout the war. Quite often, brother fought against brother. Homes, local businesses and government businesses were destroyed as troops marched back and forth across the area. West Virginia, the state, was born during the Civil War and this area seceded from what was western Virginia and became a new state on June 20, 1863.
In the county is the state's oldest town, Shepherdtown, situated along the Potomac River in the beautiful lower Shenandoah Valley. Here visitors experience history and ambience of a town that pre-dates the Revolutionary War while, enjoying quaint restaurants, many unique shops and very lively music and arts scene. Nearby to Shepherdstown visitors can hike or bike the C&O Canal path and enjoy rafting, tubing or kayaking on the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers
Some of Jefferson County's annual events have acquired national prominence, like the two Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Festivals, the Contemporary American Theater Festival and the West Virginia Breeders Classic.
John Whisentant, CEO, Jefferson County, West Virginia was interviewed at IPW 2013 in Las Vegas.

Poverty in Arkansas.
10 Arkansas small towns with the worst poverty.
10 Poorest towns in Arkansas.
Today we are going to take a look at Arkansas and the mess that it is.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the national poverty rate was 11.8% percent or 38.1 million Americans in 2018. These states have the highest percentages of poverty in the country: Mississippi, New Mexico, Louisiana, West Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama, District of Colombia, Oklahoma, South Carolina and the territory of Puerto Rico.
So why are we starting with Arkansas? Last month I got an email from a guy named Glen in Little Rock who said
I best not put Arkansas in my mouth again. He said he’d find me and pull me out of my electric car and crush my head.
I replied: Dude how did you watch my video, you are using AOL dial-up service.
He replied. What’s wrong with that.
I replied “Nothing if it were 1997.
He never replied again. So, in Glen's honor, I am putting Arkansas back in my mouth and we are going to look at the poorest towns in Arkansas.
Thanks for checking out the channel. I hope you enjoyed today's video. If there is a state, city or town you'd like us to do a video about let us know in the comment section.

Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia - Five New Counties!
Five never-before-seen counties, all in one dvd box set. Featuring classics like the Paw Paw Tunnel and the Oldtown Toll Bridge! Introducing: Fulton County, PA and Berkeley, Morgan, Hampshire, and Mineral Counties, WV! You’ll be sure to love it. Three easy payments of $29.99.
I asked the toll booth operator if the bridge is ever closed. The answer is: it's closed when it floods! There's no toll in the middle of the night because nobody mans the booth then. If the bridge is out, the next nearest bridges are about 15 miles in either direction, so good luck!
Sound quality isn't great. I recommend using captions.
Video quality also isn't great. I recommend accepting it.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - The Oldest Town in West Virginia, USA
#historiccity #westvirginia
Historic Shepherdstown, the oldest town in the state of West Virginia, nestled in the lower Shenandoah Valley - is only 90 minutes from the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan areas but miles away from the stress and rushed lifestyle of the city. Shepherdstown is located on the banks of the Potomac River in Jefferson County. It was settled heavily by German immigrants, possibly as early as 1717.
