What to Know
Held annually in Charles Town, the Jefferson County Fair celebrates the Eastern Panhandle county where John Brown's 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry set the nation on the path to Civil War — Jefferson County's Shenandoah Valley limestone farmland, horse racing at Charles Town Races, and the extraordinary Harpers Ferry National Historical Park define a county where American history is lived daily.
