Shepherdstown

Shepherdstown is a town in West Virginia. Overlooking the Potomac River, the Rumsey Monument honors 18th-century steamboat pioneer James Rumsey. The Little House and Barn were part of a miniature farm built in the 1920s. The Historic Shepherdstown Museum outlines the town's origins and Civil War history. In nearby Sharpsburg, Maryland, Antietam National Battlefield was the site of a brutal Civil War battle.
