In a striking protest at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park on March 1, 2025, locals gathered to voice their outrage over the abrupt termination of NPS employees, including one woman who received her firing notification on February 14. Despite excellent performance reviews, the terminations were attributed to alleged 'poor performance' by the Department of Government Efficiency. The protests reflect a broader discontent, echoing concerns in the surrounding community, as residents from nearby towns like Charles Town and Ranson rallied in solidarity for their affected neighbors.
