The New York Monument - An early bird's view

The Inn is located in the Blue Ridge of Western Maryland. Founded in 1763, Sharpsburg is best known for the Antietam Civil War Battlefield, renowned as the most preserved of all Civil War sites. Many of Sharpsburg's homes and churches, including the Jacob Rohrbach Inn were damaged by artillery during the battle, and many buildings still display their scars.

The 184 mile long Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Park trail passes by Sharpsburg, Harpers Ferry National Park is only 12 miles away down the old "John Brown Road", and the Appalachian Trail traverses the South Mountain Battlefield just 8 miles from the Inn.
