leisureway Says: The James Rumsey monument is located in a quiet park overlooking the Potomac River. Climb the stairs, take a moment to read about Rumsey (he invented the steamboat) and then take in the views. Ideal spot for beautiful pictures.
Toughluck Says: Shepherdstown began as the southern side of a Ferry crossing. Since then, there have been numerous crossing built and lost across the river. The remnants can be found along the river. To see them, there are several options.Rcb1. Cross to Maryland and take the first right,...

THE GERMAN STREET COFFEE & CANDLERY

Rich62 Says: RELAX AND LOOK AROUND
Stroll German Street--the Main...
noahsdad Says: Stroll German Street--the Main Street. You'll be convinced this is the real town that the fictional Cicely, Alaska was based on. It's an odd mix of the funky and the down home. Check out the fine arts and crafts shop--or the General Store, nearby. Visit the wine shop, the...
noahsdad Says: Every summer we have activities that nicely summarize the unique rural urbaneness of this special place: the Rumsey Regatta, the Mountain Arts and Crafts Festival, and the New American Theatre Festival.

The Press Room: Italian the locals love!

The Yellow Brick Bank: Lovely Brunch
nikkidish Says: This was a very nice restaurant, housed in what I would assume used to be a bank. Lovely, eclectic paintings/posters on the walls, as well as outside seating. They seemed to have a variety on the menu too. The brunch menu included shephard's pie, French toast, and BBQ. I...

The Yellow Brick Bank offers...
noahsdad Says: The Yellow Brick Bank offers amazing breakfasts--we had awesome frittatas! It's also a B&B, although we didn't stay. We'll be back, though! The Old Pharmacy Cafe had a varied lunch menu--and the berry pie was fantastic! The Bavarian Inn really can satisfy your hankering for...
Atrya Says: Locals hang out and stop in at the Meck, a local pub, for a pint. Sunday afternoons in the summer are my personal favorite when you can hang out in the lush back garden, do a crossword, bask in the sun - all while sipping one of the great beers they have on tap!
leisureway Says: The cops in this small town don't see a lot of action, especially when college is out for the summer. Traffic tickets are their main entertainment. When you reach the 4-way stop leaving or coming into town, stop completely. If it's only you, count to 3 and pass through. If...
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park
Toughluck Says: Just up the river is Harper's Ferry National Historical Park. It is another historic ferry crossing, only this site developed into a major center of commerce and a focal point before the Civil War and then during the war. You'll find plenty to do at Harper's Ferry for more...
Stroll the historic streets,...
noahsdad Says: Stroll the historic streets, see the little liberal-arts college, browse the New Age shops, have a latte at one of the (non-chain) coffee joints.
