The Rotary Club of Shepherdstown is set to enhance local tourism by installing an 'Almost Heaven' swing along with a selfie station at James Rumsey Monument Park in November. This initiative, part of a broader effort by the West Virginia Department of Tourism to promote scenic sites, underscores the importance of social media visibility for attractions. Local organizations cover part of the expenses, ensuring no funding comes from Shepherdstown's corporate budget. The goal is to create engaging photo opportunities that highlight the beauty of the area and attract visitors, as noted by tourism officials in a recent promotional video.
