Civil War canons on Murphy Farm @ Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia

The 99-acre Murphy Farm on the banks of the Shenandoah River has witnessed more than its share of American history. On its sloping fields in 1862, Confederate General A.P. Hill forced the surrender of 12,000 Union troops and concluded General “Stonewall” Jackson’s brilliant siege of nearby Harpers Ferry. Now part of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park
