2013 Student Vodcasts

Between fall 2012 and spring 2013, Harpers Ferry Middle School students volunteered with Harpers Ferry National Historical Park to complete six vodcasts (mini-movies) about the year 1863. Based on their hands-on experiences in the park and analysis of primary source documents, the students served as writers, editors, photographers, costumers, videographers, and directors to produce this fifth installment of student-developed movies.

These vignettes or vodcasts are now part of the park’s official interpretation and available for you to view, download, and enjoy while in the park or at home.
