Spend a weekend in historic Harpers Ferry!

During the symposium you will enjoy lectures by renowned historians, exclusive tours of Harpers Ferry and surrounding battlefields, and the opportunity to socialize with other history lovers like yourself!

Harpers Ferry, located on the border between North and South, changed hands eight times during the Civil War and witnessed five battles. Abolitionist John Brown launched his ill-fated war to end slavery here, stopped by Robert E. Lee and U.S. Marines. Stonewall Jackson earned his greatest victory of the war at Harpers Ferry during Lee’s first invasion of the North. The historic town has been restored to its Civil War era and its battlefields are well-preserved reminders of Harpers Ferrys strategic importance during America’s bloodiest war.

All of the above makes Harpers Ferry the perfect location for this year’s Lee Symposium! To view the complete schedule, prices, and list of speakers click here!
