Our home was originally built in 1856, just 5 years before the beginning of the Civil War. This home is seconds away from the "Big Spring," which was originally the center of what the town was built around. This spring was chosen as it was beside a branch of the colonial Great Wagon Road from Philadelphia to modern Augusta, Georgia.
During the 20th Century, more homes were built, but families got smaller, and the town was missed by major highways, so Sharpsburg has been much the same size for more than 150 years.
