Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park quarter is that it features a unique design that depicts John Brown's Fort, which was a key location during the abolitionist John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. The fort was a small, federal armory building that Brown and his followers took control of in an attempt to spark a slave revolt and end slavery in the United States. The design of the coin commemorates the 150th anniversary of the event and serves as a reminder of the significant role that Harpers Ferry played in the fight for freedom and equality.
