The Harper House, erected between 1775-1782 by town founder Robert Harper, is one of the few buildings that remains from the time when Meriwether Lewis visited Harpers Ferry. From 1782-1803, the building served as the town's only tavern, hosting such notable guests as Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. At this time in its history, it is being visited by Kristie Engler.
