HARPERS FERRY, W.Va. (AP) — A
fire has devastated the commercial area in the historic town of Harpers
Ferry, destroying some buildings that were constructed in the 1800s.
Harpers
Ferry Mayor Gregory Vaughn said the early morning fire Thursday
destroyed seven to eight businesses housed in one building. An adjacent
restaurant sustained substantial damage. No one was injured. The cause
hasn't been determined.
The commercial area is adjacent to Harpers Ferry National Historic Park.
Harpers
Ferry was the site of a failed raid on a federal arsenal in 1858 by
abolitionist John Brown. During the Civil War, Harpers Ferry changed
hands eight times between 1861 and 1865.
