Civil War history in West Virginia. Harper's Ferry lower town remains much the same as it was and is all part of a National Park. It is very strategically located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers where 3 states, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland come together.
John Brown's Fort.
General Store.
Couldn't resist taking a photo of the "Sheetz" gas station...they were everywhere.
Then it was on to Vermont. We arrived in time to visit the birthplace of Brigham Young.
This is a marker along the road in the middle of the small village of Whitingham.
Marker in front of the house or lot where Brigham was born.
The scenic view from Brigham's house.
A monument in town, placed by his family.
We were lucky to stop here for dinner on the way to our Hotel in Bennington. The food was excellent. Dad had Yankee Pot Roast and I had an amazing chicken pot pie...not in pie crust, but rather topped with a puff pastry.

Cool. Vermont seems like a very pretty place to grow up.
"...and superb equipment?"
That "marker" in front of Brigham Young's birth place looks like a tombstone...that's a little weird ;) It's really pretty out there huh!?
