Located eight
miles south of Hagerstown on Antietam Creek,the village was settled by John and
Samuel Keedy.
Originally
called Centerville, the name was changed to Keedysville when the post office was
established.
Keedysville was
once a vital link on the B&O branch line from Weaverton to Hagerstown, parts
of the train station remain intact. The Boonsboro-Shepherdstown Pike (Rt. 34)
bypasses traffic around the town, keeping Keedysville a quiet and charming rural
town. Just west of Keedysville lies Crystal Grottoes Cavern, Maryland's
only commercial underground cavern.
