My wife and I are taking an overnight trip to Harpers Ferry this week. We plan to park our car in Downsville,MD and taking our bikes about 35 miles. We are staying at the Ledgehouse B&B, and coming back the next day. Breakfast is covered, but I’d like some advice on lunch in Shepherdstown, and dinner in Harpers Ferry. Also, any “don’t miss” sights.

Also for some reason Google Maps keep taking me off the C&O near Mercersville. Is there any reason for that?

Thanks for the help

Rick

My favorite eatery midday in Sbepherdstown is the Shepherdstown Sweet Shop on West German (the main) Street. While their pastries are their calling card, and deservedly so, you can get sandwiches and coffee their as well. If you are looking for more substance for your lunch, another eatery may be more to your liking.
