A small, highway-side town that is largely dominated by the Charles Town Racetrack and Casino, which serves as a hub for all those involved in the horse racing industry, a very tight knit group of people. If your not into horse business, (betting, training, riding, owning, etc.) not much reason to stay. However, exploring the surrounding area offers some gorgeous West Virginia, picturesque, natural lands much loved by outdoors-y types, as well as the beautiful Shannandoah river. Also check out Harpers Ferry, lots of history, exploriing, and hiking around there.
