The Historic Shepherdstown Museum opens for 2023 with a new exhibit featuring maps of Shepherdstown and Jefferson County, giving visitors a glimpse into the geography of the past (and how much of it is still recognizable today). The 1890 map by local architect S. P. Humrickhouse shown above is an example of what visitors can see in the extensive collection.

129 East German St, Shepherdstown. Open every Saturday 11 am to 5 pm and Sunday 1 to 4 pm, from April 15 through October. Web: HistoricShepherstown.com.


The Jefferson County Museum is now open Tuesday through Friday 10 am to 4 pm and Saturday 9 am to 1 pm. The new museum director, Lori Wysong, is planning to open an exhibit in May focused on the Prohibition era in Jefferson County.

200 East Washington St, Charles Town (below the library). Web: JeffCoMuseum.org.
