Overview

Rarely are guests able to relive history in a relaxed, conversational atmosphere with guides who are local to the area and want to share what makes their home special to them.
Along with the 300+ year history of the region, your private driver will share with you stories, show you other points of interest, fill you in on the best restaurants or other attractions that only the locals know. This is a chance to experience Harpers Ferry and Jefferson County not just in times long past but as a thriving and diverse region.
Many of the guests are looking for authentic interactions on a personal level that are more real than just a history tour. With facts about how George Washington and his family shaped the area and the country is to where the best ice cream shop is along the way, we strive to make your journey with us is like traveling with a friend through the centuries!

What to expect

  1. Harpers Ferry
    Pass by
    Perched at the spectacular confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers where Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia meet, this town is a geographical masterpiece that has been a flashpoint for American history for over two centuries.
  2. Shepherdstown
    Pass by
    Shepherdstown, West Virginia, holds the title of the oldest town in the state (chartered in 1762), and its Old Town District is a remarkably well-preserved slice of 18th and 19th-century Americana. Walking through it feels less like a museum and more like a living, breathing community that just happens to have stunning architecture.
  3. Charles Town
    Pass by
    While Shepherdstown is the "cool older sister" with its university vibe and river views, Charles Town is the stately, historic soul of the county. Founded in 1786 by Charles Washington (George’s youngest brother), the town was designed with a sense of destiny—quite literally, as Charles named the streets after his family members.
