During our last visit to Harpers Ferry we did a little shopping in some of the lower town's tiny stores. After wandering around for a few hours, our first stop was Harpers Ferry Wine and Gourmet, probably the last store as you head up the hill out of town. Here we looked at a variety of wine, mostly made in West Virginia. We decided to buy a few bottle of Cheat River wine, probably a little overpriced at about $10 a bottle. The cashier

Later we went to Harpers Ferry Books, just a few doors down from the wine shop. This tiny bookstore is locally owned and has a nice variety of books tucked into a small, below-street-level store. We wandered around here for about 30 minutes, looking at their books about languages, foreign countries, local interest, and even English literature. We didn't buy anything, but we enjoyed our visit here.

Most of the shopping in Harpers Ferry's lower town is on High Street, just above the park entrance.
