Today, historic Shepherdstown is home to Shepherd University, the Contemporary American Theater Festival, trendy shops and galleries and a wide range of restaurants from casual to ethnic to gourmet. It is the oldest town in West Virginia, chartered in 1762 by the Virginia Assembly as Mecklenburg. Thomas Shepherd was the sole trustee and the town was renamed in his honor after the Civil War. The clay soil in the area was conducive to brick-making, and many of the homes and buildings in Shepherdstown bear the bricks of the 1790's. The town was site of James Rumsey's first successful steamboat demonstration in 1787; a monument to him and a half-scale replica of his boat are here. The "Bee-line March" to Cambridge to aid Washington in his battles originated in the area. During the Revolutionary War the town flourished as a commercial center growing to 1000 residents by 1775. The oldest free school house in the state was built here in 1848. Shepherdstown served as an open-air hospital during the Civil War, after the Battle of Antietam just across the Potomac River. Elmwood Cemetery, on the southwest side of town, is the burial spot for Colonel Henry Kyd Douglas, Stonewall Jackson's young aide, and over 300 Confederate soldiers. By Thomas Shepherd Inn.
