Heading back into town, we walked a good portion of Main Street.\u00a0 If you have the opportunity, pick up a Walking Tour of Historic Romney<\/em> brochure from the CVB at 91 E. High Street before you start. It shows many of the historic structures and gives a capsule summary of their historic significance. Possibly most famous of all is Liberty Hall, a.k.a Stonewall Jackson\u2019s Headquarters. The house was alternately used by Union and Confederate forces during the length of the Civil War.<\/p>\n

\"Stonewall<\/p>\n

A bit older, but also quite impressive is the well-preserved log home, the Davis History House at 197 W. Main Street. The owners have turned it into a museum and are constantly adding additional items. Tours are available from spring through October, by contacting the Hampshire County Public Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Starting in the center of town, we hit many wonderful gift shops.\u00a0 Right in town center is Anderson\u2019s Corner with jewelry, gift ideas and a broad selection of wines.\u00a0 We stocked up on a couple great fruit selections, native to West Virginia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Heading east along Main Street you\u2019ll find other great shops including Dillon\u2019s Country Treasures and B Belles Boutique.<\/p>\n

We ended the day with a special hosted dinner at the Hampshire County Co-op & Heritage Market<\/a> Place.\u00a0 This building was formerly the farmer’s co-op, selling all sorts of grain, feed, and farm supplies.\u00a0 Presently, the building is being retrofitted into an artist\u2019s co-op and features the works of many local artists.\u00a0 We ended up buying local art, candy and gift ideas \u2013 all at very reasonable prices. Some excellent local musicians played as we shopped – can’t beat that.<\/p>\n
