In his “Charles Town boy” voice, Jefferson County Historian Doug Perks takes you on a tour of his beloved hometown, visiting the people, places, and stories that made this place a unique station in American history. With over 100 historic photos, images, and maps, Charles Washington’s Town presents a well-balanced mix of history and nostalgia that celebrates Mainstreet, USA, and proves that small towns have the biggest hearts.

Twenty-six years after publishing Waterpower, an in-depth narrative of the mills, factories, and floods at Harpers Ferry, author David Gilbert has produced an updated, expanded, and beautifully illustrated new exploration of this important part of the town’s history: Millwrights and Entrepreneurs: 240 Years of Water Power at Harpers Ferry, 1751 - 1991 (HFPA, 2025). 

Following the Author Talks there will be a Q&amp;A and Book Signings.
