Bakerton balances quiet country living with access to culture, history, and outdoor adventure. Set in Jefferson County, it’s moments from the river bluffs and trails of Harpers Ferry, the arts scene in Shepherdstown, and conveniences in Charles Town. Weekends can start at dawn with mist on the Potomac and end with a concert, gallery talk, or farm-to-table dinner just a short drive away.
Outdoor enthusiasts have an impressive backyard. Explore the battlefields, overlooks, and living history at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, managed by the National Park Service, through the official Harpers Ferry site. Hike a segment of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, whose midpoint and visitor facilities are nearby via the official Appalachian Trail page. For flat, family-friendly rides and riverside picnics, the C&O Canal National Historical Park towpath across the river offers miles of scenery; details are on the official C&O Canal site.
Families benefit from Jefferson County Schools’ STEM initiatives, arts programs, and competitive athletics; see calendars and enrollment on the Jefferson County Schools website.
