Jonathan Hager House
Today the Hager
House is now completely outfitted with authentic furnishings of the period. It
depicts a life long since forgotten. Not many American cities older than the
country itself can present the homes of their founders completely restored.
Hagerstown Maryland, has been given such a gift-for stepping into the Hager
House is like taking a walk through the past. |

Bed & Breakfasts |
The Inn sits amidst the hallowed
ground of the Civil War's Antietam Battlefield. It's nostalgic ambience recalls
a day in September, 1862 when 155,000 boys in Blue and Gray gallantly fought for
The Cause. To take one's ease in this timeless setting is to sink into a reverie
of Civil War days.
