Built around 1832, this building was constructed with limestone with Greek Revival influences. There is a log workshop attached, which was built with corner-post log construction with diagonal bracing. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
On the National Register of Historic Places, this three-bay side-hall double-parlor house was built in 1823. It was later expanded. During the mid-19th century, Benjamin F. Cronise had a dry goods store here.
This large stone building built around 1790 is on the National Register of Historic Places. The front of the house has shaped stonework, and there is rubble stonework on the sides. Its cast-iron porch was added around 1900. During the U.S. Civil War, a canister shot damaged the house during the Battle of Antietam of 1862. Dr. Augustin A. Biggs treated people wounded from the battle in the house.
The most busy weekend in Sharpsburg every year hosts musical performances, including Civil War field music, vendors, a full-day guided hike of the battlefield, special lectures, and a whole host of other activities.
Homemade soups, subs, sandwiches, wraps, fresh fried chicken. Burgers fresh from the local meat market daily. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Eat in or carry out. Box lunches are available for large groups touring the Battlefield.

This abandoned dairy farm was bought by a group of people who tested its soil, and planted vineyards. It has been producing wine since 2015.
Pretty much the only bar in town is actually one of the best in the region. It's no tourist trap, has some really good cocktails, and a full pub menu.
Small town gem. Daily specials on homemade soups and sandwiches. Pool, Shuffle Board, on and off sale liquor and beer. Cash only.
An exceptionally charming, historic Bed & Breakfast (1804), offering a multi-course daily breakfast, free WiFi, and antique furnishings.
Sharpsburg and Antietam National Battlefield are accessible only by car, although once you're there, the village itself is very easy to cover by foot.
