The Month of May is Wildland Fire Awareness month. National parks do prescribed burns as a way to control the underbrush, and thereby lessen the chance of out of control wild fires. Battlefield parks, including our neighbors at Manassas, Antietam, and Gettysburg, also use prescribed burns to maintain their historic landscapes.

Ranger Stan got in on the #QuarantineCooking craze. Here he shows how to use 19th century style hearth cooking. (He's even in his 19th century style living history clothes). Look for special guest appearances by Bark Rangers Quin and Quiggly.
#NationalTrainDay Since 1834, the people of Harpers Ferry have been able to travel by rail. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad arrived just across the Potomac that year, and the Winchester and Potomac Railroad came into the town the following year. In 1837, the B&O crossed the river and the two railroads formed a junction out at the Point. Since that time and with very few breaks, the Iron Horse has carried travelers, tourists, soldiers, coal, automobiles, and so much more through the water gap. To this day, visitors (and a few park rangers) are enamored by these massive machines that come thundering through the mountain. Photographer Carl H. Claudy described the wonder of the trains at the Ferry in a 1907 travel guide: “If you are subject to the magic of the mountains, no words of mine are necessary to make you appreciate Harper’s Ferry, that loveliest of spots where three states meet…where the echoes of the weird screeching train-whistles of demons, single eyed at night, crash from Maryland Heights on the one side, to Loudoun Heights on the other, across both valleys, the plateau of Harper’s Ferry and the town…” Trains have changed a lot since Claudy described them rumbling through the Ferry over a hundred years ago, but their fascination to young and old alike has not. Modern horns still echo off the sides of the mountains, and we might also add the squeal of the trains traveling along the old Winchester & Potomac trestle, creating a sort of music to the majestic scenery.

#ThankATeacher "giving light and learning through young minds” - Storer College President Dr. Richard McKinney.
This Teacher Appreciation Week, we honor Dr. Richard I. McKinney. Dr. McKinney was the first African American president of Storer College (1944 – 1950) in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Dr. McKinney once said, “Storer College was a place where the young black men and women in a segregated society could get an education...This school stands for emphasis upon giving light and learning through young minds."
Born August 8, 1908, in Live Oak, Florida, Richard McKinney grew up in the segregated south. McKinney’s determination and thirst for knowledge propelled him to a career of academic achievements from earning an AB degree in religion and philosophy from Morehouse College in 1931 to earning a PhD in the philosophy of higher education from Yale University in 1942. A whirlwind year of post - doctoral work led McKinney through the University of Chicago, Columbia University, and the Sorbonne in Paris, France.
In 1944, at the age of 38, Dr. Richard I. McKinney accepted an offer to become president of Storer College, a predominately African American school in Harpers Ferry. Storer College was a freedman’s school established by northern missionaries in 1867, just two years after the conclusion of the Civil War. Dr. McKinney was not only the first African American president in Storer College’s history but also the first school president to hold an academic doctoral degree.
Dr. Richard I. McKinney dealt with problems at the school ranging from fund raising to local racist attitudes but worked hard to expand Storer’s curriculum and construct new school facilities. Despite these demands, Dr. McKinney was universally beloved by Storer’s student body. He attended many coed social events, established a local chapter of the NAACP on campus, and formed a Student Government Association to encourage students to take an active role in plotting the future direction of the school.
After leaving Storer College in 1950, Dr. Richard I. McKinney accepted a teaching position at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland and founded and chaired the school’s Department of Philosophy. Dr. McKinney retired in 1978 but continued teach philosophy part time at Morgan State well into his nineties. Dr. McKinney died at the age of 99 on October 28, 2005.
Storer College produced many stellar teachers throughout its history but none as trail blazing as Dr. Richard I. McKinney. We salute and thank Dr. McKinney and all educators this week during Teacher Appreciation Week! ~CW & ELK
#ThankATeacher “I am in love with my work” – teacher Sarah Jane Foster
Did your teacher ever face death or dishonor just to teach?
Immediately after the Civil War ended, teachers, like missionary Sarah Jane Foster, rushed to the South to teach the recently freed people. At times, the local white residents’ reaction to her and her students caused Sarah to fear for her safety: “Mr. Hoke seriously advised me to stay away from school tonight. He says that the roughs are terribly exasperated because I walked with Mr. Hopewell [an African American freedman].” Her behavior was questioned and eventually censured. In April, Foster was transferred to Harpers Ferry to finish out the school year at Storer College. The following summer she received word that the Freewill Baptist Home Mission Society had revoked her teaching commission.
In 1867, the American Missionary Association offered her a position in South Carolina in a remote area. One year later, Sarah contracted and died of yellow fever. Sarah Jane Foster, like her fellow teachers, faced severe physical and social hardships while educating freedmen. Despite difficult conditions, she once wrote home, “I am in love with my work.”

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. We honor the teachers of Storer College. From 1867 to 1955 generations of teachers—African American and white—lived and worked together educating Storer College students in Harpers Ferry. #ThankATeacher #FindYourPark #EncuentraTuParque

Meteor Showers and a "Supermoon", it's an exciting week for celestial events. In the early morning hours just before dawn on Tuesday, May 5th the Eta Aquarid meteor shower could produce between ten and thirty meteors. This meteor shower is caused by rock and debris trailing behind Halley’s Comet. In addition, in the early morning hours before dawn on Thursday, May 7th, the final “supermoon” of this year will be visible in the sky. A large supermoon occurs when the moon comes closest to Earth on its elliptical monthly orbit. This supermoon is also called the “Super Flower Moon” as it is the fifth full moon of the year when flowers start to bloom in the spring. Remember to scan the skies the next few mornings to take in these wonders of nature! ~CW
The next full Moon will be on on Thursday morning, May 7. It's the last in a series of four "supermoons."
#MayThe4thBeWithYou got us thinking about Star Wars, then stars, then moons and finally star parties so we wanted to share these with you from our 2019 event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.~ elk

Do you see a family resemblance? We received a question from our Stonewall Jackson post on Wednesday that got us digging for more information about Jacskon’s family life and descendants. The life of Thomas J. Jackson, his immediate family, and descendants was filled with military service and much grief.
Jackson was married twice in his lifetime. His first marriage was in 1853 to Elinor Junkin (1824 - 1854) who died shortly after giving birth to a stillborn son in 1854. His second marriage was in 1857 to Mary Anne Morrison (1831 - 1915). Thomas and Mary had two daughters: Mary, who died shortly after birth in 1858 and Julia (1862 - 1889).
Descendant from Jackson's daughter Julia was a son, Thomas Jonathan Jackson Christian (1888 - 1952) who rose to the rank of brigadier general in the U.S. Army and a grandson, Thomas Jonathan Jackson Christian Jr. (1915 - 1944).
Thomas Jonathan Jackson Christian Jr. graduated from West Point in 1939 and became a Colonel in the United State Air Corps. Christian Jr. was the commander of the 361st Fighter Group and became the most photographed fighter pilot during World War II.
In 1944, Thomas Jonathan Jackson Christian Jr. became the father of daughter, Lou Ellen Christian. He named his P - 51 Mustang fighter plane the "Lou IV" in honor of his daughter that he tragically never had the opportunity to meet. Christian Jr. was killed when his P - 51 was shot down in the vicinity of Boisleux -au - Mont, France on August 12, 1944 and his body was never recovered. Christian Jr.'s daughter Lou Ellen Christian married later in life and died in 2011. It is believed that this family line lives on today.

Congratulations to everyone who guessed "Stonewall" Jackson in our Monday challenge. Here's his story. With the outbreak of the Civil War just over two weeks old, Confederate Colonel Thomas Jonathan Jackson commenced his first command of the Civil War at Harpers Ferry on April 28, 1861.
A West Point graduate and veteran of the Mexican War, Thomas J. Jackson was a professor teaching physics and artillery drill at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia when he was instructed by Confederate Major General Robert E. Lee to “...proceed without delay, to Harpers Ferry, Va., in execution of the orders of the governor of the State, and assume command of that post”.
Days before Colonel Jackson’s arrival, local state militia from surrounding counties in the Shenandoah Valley advanced to Harpers Ferry to hold it after Virginia’s secession from the United States on April 17, 1861. These undisciplined “citizen soldiers” filled the streets of Harpers Ferry by the hundreds with no direct command which added to an atmosphere of unchecked merriment and disorganization. This spirit of exuberance changed quickly with the arrival of Jackson on April 28, 1861.
Colonel Jackson immediately instilled military leadership at Harpers Ferry and spent the next few weeks drilling the raw Virginia militia in a well organized camp of instruction. Jackson was also tasked with removing gun making machinery from the federal armory at Harpers Ferry for the Confederacy and surveying the heights surrounding the town for fortification against the Union army. In a letter dated May 7, 1861, Jackson wrote to General Robert E. Lee that “I am of the opinion that this place should be defended with the spirit which actuated the defenders of Thermopylae, and, if left to myself, such is my determination. The fall of this place would, I fear, result in the loss of the northwestern part of the State, and who can estimate the moral power thus gained to the enemy and lost to ourselves?”.
Colonel Jackson was replaced in command at Harpers Ferry on May 23, 1861 by Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston. Although Jackson’s first command of the war lasted less than a month, he conducted yeoman’s work in training an army, capturing and transporting military capital, and laying out defensive positions for the coming years of warfare. Most importantly, Jackson’s early knowledge gained of the surrounding terrain of Harpers Ferry would later pay valuable dividends for his army in future military campaigns in the Lower Shenandoah Valley.
Just weeks after his departure from Harpers Ferry, Thomas Jackson would rise to the rank of brigadier general and earn the nickname “Stonewall” for his discipline under fire at the First Battle of Manassas on July 21, 1861.
Can you guess? This week marks the one hundred and fifty ninth anniversary of the arrival in Harpers Ferry of one of the most recognizable commanders of the American Civil War. Who was it? ~elk

#ThrowbackThursday to the 50th anniversary of John Brown’s Raid in 1909 when Storer College purchased John Brown’s Fort from Alexander Murphy. The fort, after a sojourn in Chicago, had stood on the Murphy Farm three miles from town since 1895. The college re-built it on their campus in the upper town of Harpers Ferry and used it as a museum. In fact, some of the first historical guides, in Harpers Ferry were the students at the school who gave visitors tours of the John Brown Fort. The African American students and alumni of Storer College remembered John Brown and his men as heroes who gave their lives so that “...this nation might have a new birth of freedom.” #FindYourPark #EncuentraTuParque #NationalParkWeek

🏛Museum Mission Accomplished: Harpers Ferry was built in a day! The 1859 Lower Town and Virginius Island topographic exibit models were unpacked and cleaned last week, thanks to a wonderful NPCA volunteer and our Centennial Ambassador, Kelly. These beautiful scale models were crafted by model maker John Beard, and they represent a standard early museum interpretive tool. Mr. Beard graciously donated them to the park museum collection in the 1990s. To make the exhibit models, he studied park history reports and original documents, historic photos, and he consulted with park staff. He also made models depicting Harpers Ferry in 1900 and 1950. We are delicately cleaning, repackaging, and updating records for all the models to help preserve fragile features, and to inform future use in our museum exhibits. Recent scholarship revealed more details about some town structures, so a current model would look a bit different. For example: the Armory Fire Engine and Guard House/John Brown's Fort didn't have a bell tower or bell in 1859, according to our recent special history study on the subject.
