Jefferson County, West Virginia

You want history? Jefferson County has a lot of it. It’s the easternmost point of West Virginia, right in the Eastern Panhandle. Harpers Ferry is the showstopper here. Civil War buffs come here to see it.
But there’s more than just old battlefields. The Shenandoah River cuts through with killer views and great fishing. Shepherdstown is worth a visit too. It’s the oldest town in the state, they say.
The locals are a mix of old-timers and DC commuters. Yeah, it’s that close to the capital. Summers can be brutal, but fall? It’s postcard-perfect. Apple orchards everywhere. The place has a certain charm that’s hard to pin down.
