2 North Main Street

The Wyand House, located adjacent to the Washington County branch of the B&O Railroad tracks that have now been removed, was built about 1874 by David H. Wyand and operated by him as a hotel. He advertised it not only as the largest and most modern hotel in the county outside of Hagerstown, but also as a temperance hotel. Mr. Wyand catered to a tourist trade who vacationed in Keedysville from Washington and Baltimore in summer. It often was a stopover for those visiting the Antietam Battlefield. Around 1900 it was sold and operated as The Line House until the 1950s when it became a tavern called The Dawson House. It is now a rental property.
