Anyone want to take a guess at what the historical significance is of this building? I'll give you one clue: this game takes place in West Virginia.

Easy. Harper’s Ferry. John Brown. Most think it is the armory, but I believe it is the firehouse.

Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

OG gets the prize. Yes, it’s a firehouse and it’s where John Brown and his accomplices had their final stand against US Army forces.

I should have left it go for others. I’ve been there and walked all the grounds. Did the areas of the Civil War battle there as well. Not much of a battle, but a big surrender of Federal forces.

Absolutely beautiful location. Just lovely.

But the town is poor. Struggling.
