Reviews of Bolivar Heights Battlefield
"Beautiful scenic place facing a valley"
"This is a wonderfully maintained and preserved piece of history with a breathing view! Strategically used for it's high placement and tree coverage and because it was in path with and overlooking Harper's ferry, Bolivar heights was grounds for strategic takeover. Harper's ferry itself would change positions 6 times before the final takeover from the north. You can visit cannons and walk the paths through this magnificent area full of abundant wildlife living quietly amongst old carriages and other historic pieces. Definitely stop by to appreciate the now quiet surroundings in stark contrast to the once brutal and violent history."
"Scenic and somber place to reflect on the battles fought. The fee request is confusing-might be free, or might be $20/car, but if you already paid to tour Murphy Farm, is that part of these parks?"
"Bolivar Heights is a wonderful place to visit to learn about this very historic and important area around Harpers Ferry. Wide open spaces for the kids, cannons, amazing view of the mountains / rivers intersecting, and lots of informative trail plaques. I highly recommend stopping by here. Don't forget the stairs to the right of the 4 cannons (close to parking lot) where you can do a quick path hike down to view more battlefields!"
"Really loved walking all the battlefields! We looked up the YouTube videos released from the agency that manages the property and it really helped understand the historical significance. It was so beautiful since it was an overcast day. It almost felt like we were in a different country!"
