Tours
Friday morning - Meet at old Charles Town Library in Charles Town for a guided walking tour of the Jefferson County seat, laid out in 1787 by Charles Washington, a brother of the first president. Many of the town's original structures remain, from its imposing residences to Courthouse Square, offering visitors perfect examples of early American architecture. Visit the courthouse where John Brown was tried and convicted for treason in 1859, which was also the site of the 1922 trial of coal miners accused of treason following the Battle of Blair Mountain. See the Jefferson County Jail, now famous among WV preservationists for the aggressive campaign to save the structure. The tour will conclude at the Jefferson County Museum.
Friday late afternoon - stretch your legs with a guided walking tour of historic Shepherdstown, our host community.
Saturday afternoon - Driving tour of Jefferson County countryside will start with the Peter Burr House, the oldest standing wood frame structure in West Virginia, now being restored as a living history farm. Continuing, we will view a number of homes associated with the Washington family, including a special stop at Harewood, built by George's brother Samuel Washington in 1770 and still occupied by a Washington family descendent.
Saturday evening - Dinner and reception will be at White House Farm. The "White House," so-named because of the lime white-wash which covered much of the home's stone walls, is surrounded by two acres of landscaped grass and woods and separated from the road by a long stone fence.  The home is one of the oldest of several 18th century stone houses in Jefferson County, with the oldest standing barn in West Virginia, recently restored.

A nineteenth-century illustration shows Jefferson County's White House Farm, built in the mid 1700's. PAWV conference will climax with a reception and dinner at this historic site.
