The Harpers Ferry National Historical Park quarter is the third in 2016, and the 33rd overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. Located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park has witnessed many historic milestones in American history-from John Brown's attack on slavery to the first successful American railroad. The 3,645 acres contained in the West Virginia park symbolize both the dramatic history of our Nation and an untethered yearning for adventure.
The reverse (tails) design features John Brown's Fort, the site of John Brown's last stand during his raid on the Harpers Ferry Armory. Inscriptions are "HARPERS FERRY," "WEST VIRGINIA," "JOHN BROWN'S FORT," "2016," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
