🐴 EXCITING National Pike Festival and James Shaull Wagon Train-Maryland News!!!This year the Wagon Train will drive down Main Street, loop around the traffic circle, come back down Main Street & enter Shafer Park through the main Shafer Park entrance. Boonsboro will have their own Wagon Train parade!!
Wagon Train arrival times are as follows:

"Travel the Road that Made the Nation" Wagon trains have been rolling since 1989 as a part of the Maryland segment of the Washington County National Pike Festival. With its strategic geographical location between the Allegheny Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains, Washington County played a key role in opening the West to our nation."
Authentic wagon trains pulled by horses and mules re-enact the travel during the 1797 development of the National Pike beginning in Clear Spring on Friday and ending with old fashioned activities in Shafer Park on Sunday, May 19th.
