This year I had the opportunity to visit Antietam batlefield in Maryland, USA. Whenever I go to a Civil War battlefield I like to stay at a period, or near to period B&B.
I find it helps with getting into the atmosphere of the Civil War history. I found the Jacob Rohrbach inn at Sharpsburg by searching on the internet. After some useful e-mail conversations I was able to book the room that would suit me.
I found Joanne and Paul very welcoming and throughout my stay they made me feel very much at home. Joanne's meals in the morning were excellent and really set me up for the day, (did not need to worry about lunch), also filling my thermos full of hot coffee for my battlefield marches was never a problem.
The accomodation facilites were excellent and there was even WiFi on tap for me to update my blog for the kids' to see what I was up to.
Paul's and Joanne's knowledge of the area was excellent and on their advice I took a trip down to Harpers Ferry, stopping by John Brown's house on the way. Great advice and a great day was had.
When it was time to go home back through Washington Dulles Airport, Paul suggested that I take the time to go through the National Air and Space Museum. He even had the google map directions all laid out for me to get there. Well I went, and it was great.
This pretty much sums up the experience that I had staying with Joanne and Paul. They both went out of their way to make my stay an enjoyable and memorable one. If I am back this way, this is a place to stay that is already on the schedule.
