Which East Coast state is home to Harper's Ferry and the Greenbrier Hotel, a presidential bunker during the Cold War?

• A. Delaware
• B. West Virginia
• C. Maryland
• D. New Jersey

Answer: (B)

Locating historic sites and a Cold War bunker on the map shows why West Virginia fits. Harper’s Ferry sits at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers in Jefferson County, West Virginia, a notable historic town. The Greenbrier Hotel is in White Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier County, West Virginia, and during the Cold War it housed a secret presidential bunker (Project Greek Island) as part of continuity of government plans. Since both sites are in West Virginia, that state is the one described. The other states listed do not contain both locations.
