ABOUT
Rabbit Hole History is a documentary production team comprised of Steam at Harpers Ferry and Bot Studios. Our first feature length documentary film is “Hidden in Plain Sight – Revealing the Concealed Harpers Ferry Cemeteries.” Two cemeteries are featured. One cemetery was set aside by the United States Armory at Harpers Ferry in 1852 at the request of the citizenry, where Union soldiers were later buried. Another holds the remains of African American residents, including an African American Union soldier. Both are investigated using public records, interviews with local residents, and other clues to explain why these cemeteries were ignored in a town so rich in history.
Our goal is to explore United States’ history in new ways by finding little known or frequently overlooked people and subject matter. In addition to the documentary “Hidden in Plain Sight – Revealing the Concealed Harpers Ferry Cemeteries,” Rabbit Hole History productions is developing a companion guide to the documentary, related podcasts, preparing scripts and other materials featuring the region around Harpers Ferry.
The Rabbit Hole History documentary production team is currently conducting private screenings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but would welcome an opportunity to show the documentary at a small venue in compliance with local social distancing requirements and laws.
