There’s a rumor floating around out there that we’re closed for the bridge work- that couldn’t be further from the truth! We (and the rest of Harpers Ferry businesses) are OPEN during the bridge closure! We have lots of bread for you- our hours remain the same, and you can still find us at all of your favorite restaurants and shops. We aren’t going anywhere!

Cheers to 27 years!! 🎉 In 1996 Dewey and JR, a father and son team, incorporated a business of selling black inner tubes out of the back of a truck as Butts Tubes. This small family owned business has evolved into HFAC as we know it and continues to be be family owned, family operated and family friendly. Cheers to 27 more amazing years of adventures and thank you all so much for the love and support!!

A lot of guests ask about the John Brown trial location and courthouse...

This is the Jefferson County Jail, that use to stand in downtown Charles Town, WV.

While John Brown was awaiting the beginning of his trial, he was interviewed by politicians and reporters. Here is the exchange between Brown and a reporter of the Herald.

Reporter "I don't wish to annoy you; but if you have anything further you would like to say, I will report it."

Brown. "...I claim to be here in carrying out a measure I believe perfectly justifiable, and not to act the part of an incendiary or ruffian, but to aid those suffering great wrong. I wish to say, furthermore, that you had better--all you people at the South--prepare yourselves for a settlement of that question [slavery] that must come up for settlement sooner than you are prepared for it. The sooner you are prepared the better." ~Ranger Day (photo: NPS) Story: from "Incident at Harper's Ferry" by Edward Stone.
