An important historical place in Harper Ferry’s, and America’s, History
John Brown's Fort的点评
点评：This fort is one of the most important and well-known buildings in Harpers Ferry. At first glance it looks like a simple brick firehouse with arched doors that were open when we visited. It had a closed office that a tour guide told us led to a small second floor, but it holds a major place in American history. This is the site of John Brown’s raid in 1859. He and his group of abolitionists tried to seize the federal arsenal and start a movement against slavery. The raid failed and Brown was captured, but the event pushed the country closer to the Civil War and made the fort a symbol of both freedom and conflict. The fort has been moved several times over the years, but now sits in the lower town area of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, not far from the confluence of the rivers and the other historic buildings. There are signs nearby that explain its background and the story of the raid. Anybody can walk right up to the structure and walk and look inside. Admission is included with the entry fee for Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, which covers parking and the shuttle bus system, so there is no separate charge to see the fort itself. The site does not have a tour guide or park ranger, but the informational signs and a decent google search will provide you information on the site. If you are going to visit the city, this is a must see site for you. The visit may seem simple on the surface because it is just a small brick building, but understanding its history gives you a true sense of how one short event helped shape the nation’s history. It is a place that makes you stop, think, and remember the struggles that led to freedom and the change that made our country what it is today.
翻译：这座堡垒是哈珀斯费里最重要、最著名的建筑之一。乍一看，它就像一座简陋的砖砌消防站，拱形的门在我们参观时是敞开的。它有一个封闭的办公室，导游告诉我们，办公室通向一个小小的二楼。但它在美国历史上占有重要地位。这里是1859年约翰·布朗突袭的发生地。他和他的废奴主义者团体试图夺取联邦军火库，并发起一场反对奴隶制的运动。突袭失败了，布朗被捕，但这一事件将美国推向了内战的边缘，使这座堡垒成为了自由与冲突的象征。多年来，堡垒几经搬迁，如今位于哈珀斯费里国家历史公园的下城区，距离河流和其他历史建筑的交汇处不远。附近有一些标志牌，解释了它的背景和突袭的故事。任何人都可以直接走到堡垒前，参观里面。哈珀斯费里国家历史公园的门票已包含入场费，其中包含停车费和接驳车费，因此参观堡垒本身无需单独付费。该景点没有导游或公园管理员，但可以通过指示牌和谷歌搜索找到相关信息。如果您要游览这座城市，这里是您必看的景点。由于它只是一座小小的砖砌建筑，参观过程可能看似简单，但了解它的历史能让您真正感受到一个短暂的事件是如何塑造了这个国家的历史。这里会让您驻足思考，并铭记那些为自由而奋斗的斗争，以及那些成就我们今天国家的变革。
