Little House for Lab Brats I'm from the area -- sometimes children can still go in on special field trips. Lots of funky and fun shops in Shepherdstown. [Stephanie, 01/27/2010]
Little House The Little House in Shepherdstown is the BIGGEST thing for the town's kiddies. It is occasionally open, usually when something is going on in town like a parade or festival. The kids get so excited that they can go inside the house and not just look in its windows, which you can do any ol' day of the week. I took a field trip there in elementary school and it wasn't open; I only got to look in the windows. [Hilary, 04/29/2005]
Little House for Lab Brats The smallest house in Shepherdstown is supersized doll house, an old Shepherd College project. Completed in 1929, the two-story "house" has five rooms and measures 10 feet high by 9-1/2 feet wide, with 5 1/2 foot ceilings. It was built so student teachers could observe children playing in the "Laboratory setting." It now belongs to Shepherd University. I am only 4'11" -- look how big I look!
