Halls Island: United States Rifle Factory and the Shenandoah Riverfront. Cultural Landscape Report
Halls Island comprises 15 of the 3,645-acres of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and part of the original land grant for the parks establishment in 1944. Several historical and archeological studies focused on Halls Island in the 1950s and 1960s, but otherwise limited development and maintenance has occurred on the island since the parks establishment. The once bustling industrial center is now a quiet riparian forest community. Mature trees and herbaceous understory screen most of the remaining evidence to the islands past. The massive ruins from the Shenandoah Pulp Mill Company are hard to miss, but it takes a curious and careful eye to spot the above ground ruins from the U.S. Rifle Factory and the wall of the Shenandoah Canal. Challenges with the vegetation, remoteness and access to the island have led park staff to underutilize Halls Island as a resource for interpretation.
