Shepherdstown is a lovely village on the banks of the Potomac River in West Virginia, located just across the Maryland-Pennsylvania line from the city of Sharpsburg. The city serves as a gateway to nearby Antietam National Battlefield, the site of one of the Civil War's most brutal and deadly battles. Each year, the city hosts the annual Contemporary American Theater Festival, which produces new works by American playwrights, including acclaimed world premieres. Other attractions include the Historic Shepherdstown Museum, which details the city's civic and social history, and the Shepherdstown Public Library, West Virginia's longest continually-occupied library building. Certain attractions may be temporarily closed or require advance reservations. Hours/availability may have changed.
