In addition to Charles Town, Shepardstown is also nearby & has a lot of antique stores as well as an outstanding bakery. If you're in the vicinity over a weekend, don't miss Sunday brunch at the Bavarian Inn. -

Absolutely, if you're interested in Harper's Ferry's Civil War history (http://away.com/primedia/military/harpers_ferry.html), there should be plenty to keep you busy. The town itself is quite small, but is also surrounded by some very scenic countryside that includes forks of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers as well as a section of the Appalachian Trail. You could also bike a stretch of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal towpath (all the way to D.C. if you want!). Nice country for scenic drives, too.
