Found this driving through Sheperdstown Maryland. It was a very cool monument and I learned who had invented the modern steamboat. Awesome view of the Potomac River.

Cool park that overlooks the Potomac River. The park was the recipient of a WV swing recently as well. Not a whole lot to do up there but it's pretty and peaceful.

Really great view of the Potomac River and the old structures of the covered and railroad bridges. Great little park to pack a lunch and maybe read a nice book. The history on the monument about James Rumsey is also rather interesting. Lots of lantern flies for those that doing their part like the Mobile Infantry of the United Citizens Federation.

The Ramsay Monument is a stone obelisk, pierced by three oval apertures on an arched base The monument is in a very quiet area. There are only three parking spaces and a one disabled spot. It's a nice place to take photos. We saw the train pass by. The park overlooks the Potomac River.

Great Potomac River views, picnic tables and a West Virginia swing for great photo ops that include the monument to James Rumsey.
