2. GWWO’s relationship with Harpers Ferry National
Historical Park began more than a decade ago and has
encompassed numerous projects within the historic
park. GWWO worked with the National Park Service
to complete the exterior restoration and interior
rehabilitation of the historic Harpers Ferry train station.
The facility is shared by the National Park Service, the
Town of Harpers Ferry, and CSX.
Originally construction in 1894, the train station was
moved during railroad improvements to its current
location in 1931. The $1.75M project included:
• Evaluation and documentation of the existing
facility and completion of an Historic Structures
Report
• Exterior restoration of the facility to its post-move
1931 appearance, including reconstruction of a
second story tower that was removed after the
move
• Interior rehabilitation for shared use, including
visitor orientation and comfort facilities, exhibits
and ticketing
• Removal of the structure from its current failing
foundation and replacement on a new full
perimeter concrete footing, as well as creation of a
new partial basement to house the new mechanical
systems
