Martinsburg, West Virginia

Martinsburg Courthouse
After two nights in Tennessee (Memphis, Bristol) we arrived in Martinsburg, West Virginia for our third night of vacation. We’d stay here for a week and drive to various locations in the area for sight seeing and entertainment. However, there was plenty in Martinsburg area to get us started.

As one of the oldest settlements in the United States there were plenty of historical markers and antique shopping to keep us busy for a full day. One of the favorites was the Farmer’s Market. I enjoy farmer’s markets because I’m a huge fan of vegetables or anything like that. Farmer’s markets are where you learn about the community that you are in, find great food and good souvenirs.

If you enjoy history, old buildings and small town atmospheres then a day in Martinsburg will be good for you.
