About Morgan County And The Eastern Panhandle
According to “The Eastern Panhandle Region of eastern West Virginia spans a landscape of broad valleys drained by the Potomac, Cacapon, and Shenandoah rivers and bounded on the east by the Blue Ridge. It has historically been a vacation destination. The nation's first public baths were established here at Bath, or Berkeley Springs. Horse racing, near Charles Town, and heritage tourism are principal attractions in the panhandle. The national historical park at Harpers Ferry, and the Antietam National Battlefield, near Shepherdstown, attracts thousands of visitors annually. The region is often referred to as a bedroom community of the Washington, D.C., area. Tourism and agriculture are primary industries.”
