Jefferson County, West Virginia - Unravel Travel TV
Jefferson County Convention & Visitor's Bureau invite you to 'Discover it All' in 'Wild and Wonderful West Virginia. Jefferson County's proximity to the Washington and Baltimore metro areas make it a neat place to visit on your way and its perfect for international visitors arriving into Washington Dulles, being just one hours drive away. This Eastern Panhandle of the state offers a wealth of history. There was action in Jefferson County in every year of the Civil War, including but not limited to the surrender of 12,500 Union troops to Stonewall Jackson's forces in September 1862 at Bolivar Heights. The other military actions included the many raids of General John S. Mosby and his men, the Great Train Robbery, the two battles of Charles Town, the battle of Shepherdstown and when General Early faced General Sheridan at the battles of Summit Point and Smithfield. Historians recently identified thirty-three Civil War sites in Jefferson County.
The Harpers Ferry National Historic Park is visited by many. A visit to this quaint, historic community, at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, is like stepping into the past. Stroll the picturesque streets, visit exhibits and museums, or hike our trails and battlefields. John Brown brought his men to Harpers Ferry, and commandeered the federal arsenal on the late evening of October 16, 1859. Their purpose was to secure the guns at the arsenal to arm and free the slaves.
The courthouse in Charles Town, which is still in use today, was the site of the Brown trial and two of the only three treason trials in the United States. The Jefferson County Museum in downtown Charles Town has on display many John Brown and Civil War items including the wagon that carried Brown to his execution, several pikes (weapons), the desk he used in his jail cell, a copy of the provisional constitution and the gurney he laid on during the trial. The historic Charles Town Walking Tour includes the hanging site, the trial site, the museum and the reading room where John Wilkes Booth did Shakespearean readings to entertain persons who attended the John Brown trial.
In Jefferson County, many homes became hospitals throughout the war. Quite often, brother fought against brother. Homes, local businesses and government businesses were destroyed as troops marched back and forth across the area. West Virginia, the state, was born during the Civil War and this area seceded from what was western Virginia and became a new state on June 20, 1863.
In the county is the state's oldest town, Shepherdtown, situated along the Potomac River in the beautiful lower Shenandoah Valley. Here visitors experience history and ambience of a town that pre-dates the Revolutionary War while, enjoying quaint restaurants, many unique shops and very lively music and arts scene. Nearby to Shepherdstown visitors can hike or bike the C&O Canal path and enjoy rafting, tubing or kayaking on the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers
Some of Jefferson County's annual events have acquired national prominence, like the two Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Festivals, the Contemporary American Theater Festival and the West Virginia Breeders Classic.
John Whisentant, CEO, Jefferson County, West Virginia was interviewed at IPW 2013 in Las Vegas.

240 Second Art Show: The World Of The Willing
An art exhibit running from August 17 to September 18 at The Davis Fina Arts Building at West Virginia State University.
The World of the Willing is a multi-media exhibition, featuring paintings, assemblage, sculpture, films, illustrations and designs. These various artistic mediums are assembled to provide the viewer with the opportunity to explore a world that is both foreign and familiar.
The theme of transformation is experienced through out the exhibition, as damaged and discarded items become pieces that entertain and stimulate the mind and imagination in new ways. The characters within the films are transformed by their physical and emotional interactions with the items that are on display. The different artistic mediums within the exhibit interact with one another to expand the identity of each individual item and create relationships, ideas, and a mythology shared by all the pieces. The exhibit allows the viewer to be a traveler in a world where there are no tour guides or road maps. It is the exploration of the human desire to physically interact with something tactile and create change within themselves and the world they live in.
