Description
The Provost Marshal's Office is located next door to the Dry Goods Store in Harper Ferry, West Virginia.
The Provost Marshal was frequently the most important and powerful man in town. A member of the U.S. Military, he was stationed in Harpers Ferry to handle matters with the Armory and other local issues. Since Harpers Ferry was a small town, he served as the local Police Chief, the judge, jailer, and occasional executioner.
