Harpers Ferry:

 Harpers Ferry, a ruggedly sited eighteenth-century town now restored as a national historic park, gives many visitors their first and only look at West Virginia. Clinging to steep hillsides above the rocky confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, many of its forty-odd brick and stone buildings date from the days when George Washington set up the country's first national munitions factory here to arm the young Republic. During the mid-1800's Harpers Ferry was a thriving industrial complex, home to some five thousand workers and linked with the capital by the B&O Railroad and the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, but after suffering the ravages of the Civil War and a series of torrential floods it was all but abandoned. the empty shells of its homes and factories slowly becoming overgrown by the dense forest that covers the surrounding hills. Almost all of Harpers Ferry has been reconstructed as an outdoor museum, combining historical importance and natural beauty. However pretty Harpers Ferry may be - and in the autumn, when the leaves blaze with color, it's hard to imagine a more picture perfect setting - it's best known for its place in US history.

The oldest town in what is now West Virginia, started out as Mecklenburg in 1762, but was renamed Shepherd’s Town in 1798 in honor of the towns founder Thomas Shepherd. The name was shortened to Shepherdstown in 1867, when it was granted a charter by the new state of West Virginia. The town was the jumping off point for the legendary Bee Line march, in which the first large contingent of southern volunteers hiked overland in record time to reinforce George Washington’s Continental Army around Boston.

Shepherdstown lays claim to being the birthplace of the steamboat based on the achievements of James Rumsey who successfully demonstrated a working steamboat n the Potomac River a full 20 years before Robert Fulton’s “Claremont” steamed up the Hudson River. Today this small college town vigorously preserves it’s history and heritage but mixes this appreciation of history with an ambience that invites residents and visitors to stroll the sidewalks, enjoying local bistro’s and some of the areas finest restaurants.
