Named after the nation’s third president, Jefferson County is located in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia and bounded by the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. Residents here always have outdoor activities on their to-do lists, from hiking and biking along the C & O Canal to boating and fishing along the rivers. Many of the early structures built in the 1800s still stand against the backdrop of the county’s beautiful natural scenery. Pristine examples of Victorian architecture are evident throughout this county where main streets take you back in time.

The Charles Town Races & Slots attracts people from all over the Mid-Atlantic every year. Historic Charles Town, the county seat, was recently designated as a Preserve America community by the White House. Cultural heritage is also seen in Harpers Ferry National Historic Park. Over at Jefferson Orchards, featuring 600 acres of fruit, you can pick your own peaches in the summer or apples in the fall.

With close proximity to Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains, Jefferson County is the perfect location for your next home.
