Built around 1800, by Capt. Joseph Chapline, Revolutionary War patriot, the Inn is a perfect example of Federal Period architecture. Located in the center of quaint Sharpsburg, Maryland it is surrounded by the Antietam Battlefield, and was used as a hospital to care for the wounded following the battle. The Inn is named for Jacob Rohrbach who lost his life defending the property against horse thieves claiming to be Mosby's men on July 4th, 1864. While best known for the Battle of Antietam, Sharpsburg also borders the C&O Canal National Park, and is the location of the Kennedy Farm, where John Brown prepared his raid on the nearby Harpers Ferry Arsenal. We have many fine restaurants and inviting shops in the area and Shepherdstown, West Virginia, home of Shepherd University is just across the Potomac.
