Welcome to Shenandoah County Shenandoah County is 90 miles west of the nation’s capital, nestled in the Allegheny and Blue Ridge mountains in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. Largely an agricultural community, the 507-square-mile Shenandoah County is home to seven towns: Edinburg, Mount Jackson, New Market, Strasburg, Toms Brook, Woodstock and Maurertown. Known as The String of Pearls, each town has unique shops, restaurants and businesses. Shenandoah is a Native American name meaning “beautiful daughter of the stars.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. “There is a time for every purpose...a time for war, and a time for peace,” by dramatically casting off his clerical robes to reveal a uniform of the Continental Army. He served with General Washington as commanding officer of the 8th Virginia, the famous “German Regiment.”
Ewell. That same old stone courthouse was built in 1795 and is now the oldest courthouse still in use west of the Blue Ridge. Union Gen. Phil Sheridan always will be remembered here for ordering “The Burning” of valley mills, barns and food supplies in order to cut off supplies for the Confederate Army.
During the Civil War, several important battles and numerous skirmishes took place up and down the Old Valley Pike (U.S. 11) and the Middle and Back Roads to the west. The Valley Pike, the only macadamized road in the area, was vital to the success and agility of General Woodstock, the county seat, is one of the Jackson’s “foot cavalry” during the oldest towns in the Shenandoah Valley and Campaign of 1862. the fourth oldest town in Virginia.

Or just enjoy stopping at small antique shops and other authentic family run businesses. Skyline Drive is a nearby favorite tourist attraction as are the George Washington Forest, the New Market Battlefield State Historical Park, and local museums.

EDINBURG www.townofedinburg.org The town of Edinburg is located at the base of Massanutten Mountain, alongside Stony Creek. Early Swiss settlers were so taken with this small community that they named it Edenburg, after the biblical garden. Today it’s known as Edinburg, but the little town continues to attract both residents and visitors with its friendly atmosphere and natural beauty. Edinburg features historic homes, quaint shops and galleries, and one of the few remaining pre-Civil War mills in existence. The Historic Edinburg Mill was built by Maj. George Grandstaff in 1848. It is one of only a few that survived the burning during the Civil War. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located in Edinburg’s Historic District, the mill is a designated Virginia Historic Landmark. It is located on the historic Valley Pike, (U.S. Route 11), and serves as a prominent and scenic resource along this designated Virginia Scenic Byway.

MT. JACKSON www.mountjackson.com Mount Jackson originally was known as Mount Pleasant. On Jan. 28, 1826, an act of the General Assembly of Virginia changed the name of the village in honor of President Andrew Jackson, who was a frequent visitor on his travels from Washington, D.C., to his home in Tennessee. The town’s location along the Valley Pike, and at the terminus of the Manassas Gap Railroad, prompted the Confederate government to establish a military hospital there in the spring of 1861. Information about the hospital can be found at its original site across from the Our Soldiers Cemetery in Mount Jackson.

TOMS BROOK Toms Brook, located between the towns of Strasburg and Woodstock, witnessed Civil War action in 1864. The Battle of Toms Brook engaged over 9,000 Union and Confederate soldiers. The battle, also known as the “Woodstock Races,” resulted in a Union victory. Toms Brook today is home to artisans and farms. The small town offers several travel centers. When traveling U.S. Route 11, be sure to note the renovated Toms Brook School. The old school found a new use as affordable housing. The project was a team effort of several agencies that served a need while saving a historic building.
