Over the years, while traveling from coast to coast, my wife and I have made a habit of stopping at the local visitors center before beginning our tour of a town or historical site or national park or attraction. It's a good opportunity to be brought up-to-date on what's happening and you can obtain brochures and information on places to eat, stay and shop. The Shepherdstown Visitors Center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, is worth a stop. Located at 201 South Princess Street, it is open from 10 to 4 daily. Billed as "One of America's Coolest Small Towns," Shepherdstown has a population of 1,802 and is the oldest town in West Virginia, having been established in 1762. It also is billed as "The Most Haunted Town in America." Judge for yourself. Lots of history here. The town is close to Antietam National Battlefield and Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. It is home to Shepherd University. At the visitors center, learn about places to stay (Bavarian Inn, Thomas Shepherd Inn, Quality Inn, Clarion Hotel and Conference Center, Sundogs B&B), places to eat (Bavarian Inn, Green Pineapple, Blue Moon Cafe, Bistro 112, Press Room, Betty's Restaurant, China Kitchen, A-Wok, Mecklenburg Inn, Devonshire Arms Cafe & Pub, Dairy Queen, Tony's Pizza, King's New York Pizza, Rumsey Tavern) and where to shop (133 Vintage, Ricco Gallery, Christian Caine, Bridge Gallery, O'Hurley's General Store, Four Season Books). And learn about the sites for live music, theater and cultural offerings.

O’Hurley’s is a true gem and long-time Shepherdstown business. If you can stop at only one place in town, go here for the wonderful, old-fashioned crafts, toys, games, housewares, and personal care products, including some made in WV. I must have spent at least an hour looking at all the unusual offerings and came out with an armful of gifts. If you’re in town on Thursdays, don’t miss the evening music, a long time tradition.
