Loss of an important community member.

Historic Shepherdstown joins other community organizations in mourning the loss of Peter F. Smith. Over the past two years, we had the opportunity to work closely with Peter on the 250th anniversary commemoration of the Bee Line March. We got a first-hand look at his prodigious talents for organization and fundraising. But most importantly, we saw and experienced his deep-seeded love of community and his understanding of the importance of history to Shepherdstown and Jefferson County. We extend our condolences to his wife Vicki, a long-time board member, past president and docent coordinator for Historic Shepherdstown. Peter’s passing leaves a hole in the Shepherdstown Community. He will be greatly missed.
