Mills Group Conceptual Architectural Probono recipients spotlight: First Zion Baptist Church in Harpers Ferry, WV.
The project aims to preserve African American cultural heritage in Harpers Ferry and Bolivar by restoring the historic 1894 First Zion Baptist Church to serve as a cultural arts center and gathering place for the community and visitors.
"Once the building is ready for public occupancy, the Foundation plans to open a community center. We see the center as a great opportunity to engage and unite the communities of Harpers Ferry and Bolivar and to memorialize the Black community that flourished here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries."

We've been making progress on the First Zion Church preservation these past couple of weeks! The canopy came off the front entrance, which returns the building to its original symmetry. We have Brad pulling down the drywall from the sanctuary ceiling to reveal the original beadboard. And the oil tank in the basement has been removed. We're also about to get electricity hooked up to the building.
Thanks again for all your support that is helping to fund this work!

Tour Stop #5
SEVEN MAGNOLIAS
Shown by Windflower Garden Club.
Refreshments will be served.
Sited on a double lot at the highest point of Washington Street, this 1907 Sears Craftsman house commands great views of lower (old town) Harpers Ferry. The owners acquired the house in 2016 and began renovations with the intention to open a B&B in the future. The first floor retains the tin ceilings, wood floors, and elegant foyer staircase which are original to the house. Upstairs, the four bedrooms feature antique furniture, while the en suite bathrooms are individually decorated in designer tile and modern fixtures. The smaller rear rooms boast private balconies.
Outdoors, a 3-sided wrap-around porch opens to extensive gardens on a full-size city lot. Stone from local quarries, statuary and a tranquil pond add interest to the area, which features interesting groupings of flowers and shrubs, designed and planted by the current owner. Behind the house, a log cabin built by a former owner to house his wife's Montessori School, is planned as an artist's studio in the future.

This week, over two hundred students from Harpers Ferry Middle School dove headfirst into the Storer College story with rangers and volunteers on the former campus. They had an awesome opportunity to interact with a living representative of that story, Ms. Delores Foster (pictured). Ms. Foster spoke on her experiences growing up in Harpers Ferry during segregation and her impactful relationship with Storer College and its students.
You can read more of Ms. Foster's story here, courtesy of the Harpers Ferry-Bolivar Historic Town Foundation: https://historicharpersferry.org/blog/recollections-of-growing-up-in-harpers-ferry/.

We look forward to debuting a walking tour that will detail the relationships Frederick Douglass had with the students and faculty of Storer College, as well as his relationship with the tri-state area following the Civil War.
They know who we are. They should.
Since they haven’t gotten with us since publication of Frederick Douglass in Washington, D.C.: The Lion of Anacostia more than seven years ago to get at the history we therefore take the initiative to get at the history.

The C&O Canal Trust is hosting an event in late February for Black History Month! If you're interested, the link to register is here. Hope to see you there!
Harpers Ferry residents are definitely friendly to hikers!
We might be short on some basic amenities for hikers, but the businesses we do have are also welcoming to hikers. Many even go above and beyond as A.T. Community Supporters!

Thought I would share. Took this last year while waiting for MARC.
Here's a hilarious and touching post by a flip flopper and former ATC employee Anne "Shivers" Baker who started her thru-hike with her dad in Harpers Ferry in early May.
She wasn't one of the flip floppers who left the weekend of the festival - she was there as a volunteer! If you attended the pancake breakfast at Camp Hill Methodist Church, she was one of the helpers.
