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. 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.” 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 Jackson’s “foot cavalry” during the Campaign of 1862. Gen. “Stonewall” Jackson made headquarters in several Woodstock locations, including the small brick building 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. 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. The Shenandoah Valley has much to offer, from wine tasting at local vineyards to tours of caverns, historic towns and Early American homes. The
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival (www.musicfest.org) brings summer concerts (from symphony and big band to county and folk music) to the beautiful outdoor pavilion at Orkney Springs. 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. Attractions in Shenandoah County differ from the large-scale Virginia tourist sites. We attract visitors who appreciate the scenic beauty, the hospitality and the unique cultural and historic treasures of the region. From the depths of our county’s unique limestone caverns at Shenandoah Caverns to the heights of its mountain vistas, Shenandoah County provides a wealth of year-round recreational activities and facilities.

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. 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.
The Route 11 Yard Crawl will begin at 7 a.m. Aug. 13 and features over 43 miles of yard sales. shencochamber. wix.com/route-11-yard-crawl

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.
