This Civil War-era stone foundation was built by the Union Army in defense of Maryland Heights. The plans for the fort included a superstructure to sit atop the foundation, but this aspect was never constructed. Several conflicts occurred on Maryland Heights, which was a strategic position for both the Union and Confederacy.

Yürüyüş

Maryland Heights is a small hill around the area of Harpers Ferry. In the american civil war this was a strategic point with some military bases. Now it's a national park with different hikes with a length of one to three hours.
The stone fort was build up in the civil war and was later used to store supplies for the troops.

Unfortunately, the park administration does nothing to keep the original lines of sight clear. This is how you hike to the highest points, but have no view. If you like walking in the woods, okay
