Church in Harpers Ferry

St. Peters Roman Catholic church in Harpers Ferry West Virginia.
While enjoying our walk around Harpers Ferry,  this church just commanded us to take a walk up and get a closer look where she sits .   There was a feeling I got as I stood there taking in the view of the church and looking down around the surrounding area.   I would have loved to have looked around inside, but not open at the time I was there.
The building completed in 1833 after taking three years to build.
This is the third church built in Harpers Ferry but the only one not built on government land.
Part of the Appalachian trail is the street along the side of church.
