The U.S. Armory at Harpers Ferry was one of the nation's first military industrial complexes and produced the deadliest weapons of its day from the early 1800s until the start of the Civil War in 1861. Gutted during the Civil War, the armory was later razed and mostly covered with rubble to make way for elevated train tracks. A stone obelisk marks the original location of what became known as John Brown's Fort.
