A Brand New Way to Give the Gift of Harpers Ferry!
National parks inspire visitors to explore, learn, and connect. Starting on January 1st, we are introducing a brand-new membership tier: Junior Supporters.
Lockwood House, Room 2-22: Located in the southeast corner of the house, it has a rich array of Civil War graffiti exposed to view. On the walls are remnants of numerous layers of paint and shreds of wallpaper, but most has been removed to reveal an extensive amount of penciled graffiti, mostly names and military units. The walls are plastered, directly onto the brick on the east and south walls. Floors are random-width tongue and groove pine boards that span the entire room without joints.
