For over 40 years, Hepburn Orchards has been owned and operated by the
Hepburn family of Hancock, Maryland. Their old-time fruit market located
just off I-70 (near the eastern terminus of I-68 from Morgantown, WV, and
Cumberland, MD) is a favorite stop for tourists and travelers at this
important and historic junction point. The Western Maryland Rail Trail,
which runs directly behind Hepburn's market complex, is also a popular
attraction to the area offering about 25 miles of paved right-of-way for
cyclists along the former Western Maryland Railway main line. Hepburn's
friendly market not only offers the finest of fresh local produce,
seasonal bedding plants, and home-made pies; but also a variety of
quality Maryland souvenirs–including, of course, the RR Trax Studios
book on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.
