Review:
Chartered in 1762, Shepherdstown is the oldest town in West Virginia, and it offers an appealing blend of Old-World charm and modern sophistication. Several of the town's restaurants specialize in gourmet contemporary cuisine, and the downtown shops sell everything from local artwork to used books. The town also has a reputation for being haunted, and you can learn about its dark and mysterious past by taking the Shepherdstown Mysteries Walk. If you'd rather learn about the less spooky side of the town's history, you can also visit the Shepherdstown Museum, which features Civil War artifacts and an elegant dining room with period furnishings.
