The historic Old Market House in Shepherdstown, built in 1800, has been transformed into a Welcome Center following the closure of the local library. Celebrated for its rich history as a community hub, the building now offers visitors insights into the town's heritage and local businesses. With a focus on boosting tourism, local officials aim to leverage the area's significance to draw visitors and stimulate economic growth, making it a key destination in the Eastern Panhandle. This revitalization is supported by the Jefferson County Convention & Visitors Bureau, emphasizing the building's role in presenting the unique cultural narrative of the region, as reported by West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
