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.”

Woodstock, the county seat, is one of the oldest towns in the Shenandoah Valley and the fourth oldest town in Virginia. Woodstock was home to famed revolutionary, “the fighting parson,” John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, who came to Woodstock in 1772 to serve as pastor of the area Lutheran congregations.

ing at the end of Lawyers Row. The limestone courthouse at the center of town was visited by soldiers from both sides, including Generals Banks, Fremont, Hunter, Sheridan, Ashby, Rosser, Imboden, Jones, Hampton, Gordon, Shield, Early, and Ewell. That same old stone courthouse was built in 1795 and is now the oldest courthouse still in use west of the Blue Ridge.

Muhlenberg is famous for his fiery Sunday sermon of January 28, 1776, in which he punctuated the reading from 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.”

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.

Let us help you grow a safer, healthier, chemical free garden or lawn!

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.

We carry a wide selection of Organic gardening supplies and a great selection of gardening products and much, much more.

The site is now home to a visitor center and the Museum at the Edinburg Mill. The museum tells the story of the mill, the town, the Valley Pike, the Shenandoah River, and the railroad. A 50-seat theater features a 45-minute film titled “The Burning,” which is based on John Heatwole’s book of the same name.

Ask about bulk supplies!

Fertilizers, pest control, repellents, seeds & bulbs, seed starting supply, potting soils, soil amendments, soil testing, animal feed, lighting for indoor growing, gardening tools, gloves, hydroponics & aquaponic systems, solar panels, canning & preserving supplies, honey bee keeping supplies and crafts by local artists.

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.

Mount Jackson is home to the Bowman-Shannon Cultural Arts Center, the historic Union Church, a circa 1947 Duckpin Bowling Alley, and the above-mentioned Our Soldiers Cemetery, the only Civil War cemetery in Virginia with all Confederate soldiers buried there.

Visit the Mount Jackson Town Hall and tour the Mount Jackson Museum. The museum features an array of exhibits and information about the town’s history. A visitor center is part of the town hall complex.

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.
