"drastically eliminate the hordes of visitors and their automobiles from this location". To accomplish this goal, removing "the only important attraction from the Storer College campus", in 1968 the Park Service moved it once more (the 4th move). The original location is covered by a Baltimore & Ohio Railroad embankment, so it was moved to a location close to the original, actually the most central location in Harpers Ferry. The Fort is now part of the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and sits east of its original location, at . It is the most visited tourist attraction in the state of West Virginia. From the point of view of crowd management, the Fort was placed in Arsenal Square so as to discourage parking in lower Harpers Ferry. Satellite parking and shuttle buses were set up. The structure is not fully authentic due to the number of times it has been dismantled, moved, and reassembled.The doors are not original; at the Armory the building was painted grey. (See poster at right.) As stated above, 8,000 bricks replace original ones taken as souvenirs. It is also not an exact replica, as portions of the building were "rebuilt backwards", because builders were working from a negative and did not realize it needed to be turned over to see the building correctly. It was described in 2005 as "a bit smaller than its original size". "The age of the various parts of the building cannot be authenticated", is the comment of the Historic American Buildings Survey. A Harpers Ferry Historical Association publication states that "the John Brown Museum" now houses the original armory gate. It had been taken by Alexander Murphy, who used it as outer gate to his coal yard, and had tried to sell it in 1927. It was donated in 1991 to the National Park Service by Jim Kuhn, a great-great-grandson of the Murphys. Subsequent to the National Park Service's move of the building, it acquired the original site, along with portions of the former Armory grounds, through land swaps with CSX, the current (2021) operator of the former Baltimore and Ohio route. As of 2021 the NPS has no immediate plans to use it. Controversy over Armory bell During a Union Army occupation of Harpers Ferry, a contingent of soldiers from Marlborough, Massachusetts, removed a bell hanging in the Harpers Ferry arsenal firehouse. Thirty years later, it was taken to
