St. John's Episcopal Church
These weathered ruins are all that remain of St. John's Episcopal Church - one of Harpers Ferry's five earliest churches.
Built in 1852 with money provided by church fairs, St. John's served as a hospital and barracks during the Civil War and suffered considerable damage. It was rebuilt afterward, but was abandoned in 1895 when a new Episcopal church was built in the upper town.
Marker can be reached from Church Street, on the right when traveling south.
