Featured Itinerary

DAY 1

Begin your day with a luxurious, homemade breakfast from one of the local bed and breakfasts in Harpers Ferry: The Ledge House Bed and Breakfast, Stonehouse Bed & Breakfast or The Jackson Rose Bed & Breakfast. Afterward, explore the historic sites at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, like John Brown’s Fort and Jefferson Rock.

For lunch, stop by Bistro 1840 for a sampling of tuna niçoise salad with quail egg or a pancetta mac & cheese with white truffle oil. Then, wash it all down with an English IPA at Mash Brewing Company or a Sour Peach Shenandoah Saison from Abolitionist Ale Works in Charles Town.

For dinner, enjoy a special meal at the Redbook Restaurant at Hillbrook Inn & Spa. This unique restaurant handwrites every meal in a small red notebook so that no two meals repeat for customers. Enjoy a five-course candlelit prix fixe dinner before retiring to an elegant room at the inn.
