1 South Main Street (Junction of North and South Main St.)

This now vacant site held the railroad station for the Washington County Branch of the B&O Railroad that was built in 1866-1867 from Weaverton to Hagerstown. The local station was erected in 1868. Christian M. Keedy, who later became the first Burgess of Keedysville, built the first warehouse and was the first ticket agent. The site also contains the remains of a grain elevator which still stands. In the late 1920s service peaked at five runs a day and decreased to a low of one run a day by the end of the depression. This railway service caused the town to blossom, doubling its population by the year 1900. The town’s prosperity waned with the loss of the railroad in 1953.
