"Hagerstown" is a name that will ring a bell, no matter how long ago you sat in high school history class: the Hagerstown area is where the Battle of Antietam took place. But that's not when Hagerstown's journey began. The city also played a vital role in the Revolutionary War. As you can imagine, Hagerstown is steeped in history, as will become apparent once you spend even an afternoon here. As you'll soon discover, though, while this town is certainly historic, it has beauty, charm, and excitement to match.
Hagerstown, at the edge of the Appalachian Mountains, is abundantly beautiful. You can really drive anywhere around Hagerstown to get the full effect, but start at the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park. One of the "happiest" historic sites in the area, unconnected to the Civil War, the old canal is a great place to walk, run, bike, or just relax. The Potomac River is the centerpiece of the park, but there are also a number of trails and noteworthy bridges to discover on the way.
When you do decide you're ready to dive in to the area's past, the South Mountain State Battlefield and, of course, the site of Antietam will be calling your name. Don't miss smaller sites like the Kennedy Farm, used by John Brown's forces in their 1859 uprising. After a comprehensive tour of the area you will have a thorough understanding of the Civil War, as this part of Maryland was ground zero for some of the war's most fascinating events. But did you know about Fort Frederick State Park, which will point you toward the area's often-overlooked Revolutionary War history? You should also visit the Jonathan Hager House to "meet" the town patriarch, who lent his name to Hagerstown sometime in the first half of the eighteenth century.
For a while after you first move here, it might seem like getting to know Hagerstown is a full-time job. The good news about this is that you will never be bored. But eventually, you will reach the point where you've visited almost every monument, battlefield, and park. What's left? Plenty! This is a town that likes a good celebration, no matter the occasion. The Hagerstown Suns, a minor league baseball team, are the main attraction in town every summer. There are also a few festivals you won't want to miss, like the Western Maryland Blues Festival and the "Salute to Independence" each Fourth of July.
Hagerstown is simply a great place to be. Always fascinating, it will continue to surprise you year after year. That's why you need one of our new homes to match, so that you will be perfectly at home in Hagerstown from the moment you arrive.
