Stephens City

Middletown Virginia’s official gateway to

2nd Oldest Town in the Shenandoah Valley

Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park Located near the junction of I-66 and I-81 in the northern Shenandoah Valley, the growing community of Middletown lies 14.5 miles south of Winchester. Whether you’re in search of history, good food, antiques, wine tasting, or just a quiet weekend, Middletown offers a central destination to begin or complete that journey.

Stephens City is the second-oldest municipality in the Shenandoah Valley after nearby Winchester, which is about 5 miles to the north. After the Civil War into the twentieth century the town suffered through a forced name change and economic hardships. Today the town faces unprecedented growth along with other towns in the Northern Shenandoah Valley.

Each year Middletown plays host to thousands of Civil War reenactors and thousands more spectators as the Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation recreates the 1864 Battle of Cedar Creek.

EDINBURG A friendly little town in the heart of Shenandoah County Although it was not incorporated until 1852, Edinburg was an active crossroads town as early as the late 18th century. The local iron industry led to mills established to supply the furnaces and meet the needs of local farmers. A number of grist mills were built in the area with the largest being the Edinburg Mill located at Stony Creek right along the Old Valley Pike, Route 11, which serves as Edinburg’s Main Street. Built in 1848, the Edinburg Mill was one of the few mills to survive “The Burning” that devastated the Valley during the Civil War. Saved by the Town’s residents, it continued as a working mill until 1979 when it was converted into a restaurant. This new use continued until 1998 when the Mill once again was threatened as it sat vacant with its future unknown. The Town of Edinburg partnered with the Edinburg Heritage Foundation to purchase the property in February 2000 and once again the residents were able to save the Mill. The Mill is now home to a visitor center and museum telling the story of local transportation along with the history of the Mill, retail shops and a restaurant to continue the tradition of feeding the Valley. While the Civil War was devastating to Edinburg and the Madison District, the area returned to pre-war activity and people prospered. Because of modern transportation and better jobs elsewhere, the area began to change from commercial and farm activity in the second half of the 20th century; the area has become a retirement haven, with many tourist attractions and small shops catering to arts and crafts as well as outdoor activities such as canoeing and fly fishing. Edinburg really comes to life the 3rd Friday evening of September, as the annual Ole Time Festival begins. The fun filled weekend features crafters and artists, foodstands, children’s festival, a parade on Saturday, non-stop music on 3 stages, a 4K Fun Run, antique autos and tractors, all-you-can-eat breakfast, Friday night street dance, community sing-a-long, old-timers baseball game, a Bed Race, a Duck Race and more.

The Edinburg Mill, which served the area from 1848-1979 as an active mill now has become a new tourist attraction. Housing a visitor center, museum and shops, it is once again the cornerstone of the town’s commercial district. The museum’s theater features “The Burning” which tells the story of the dark days of our nation’s Civil War.

Mt. Jackson

Meem’s Bottom Bridge

The Mt. Jackson Town Hall includes a visitor center and a museum located at 5901 Main Street, open Mon.-Fri. 8-5. There are several display racks of brochures for visitors. The town is rich in Civil War history including several Civil War-era buildings. The Union Church was used as a hospital and you can see where the soldiers wrote their names on the wall. Mt. Jackson’s Soldiers Cemetery has a monument listing the names of soldiers from all the Confederate states who died at the Mt. Jackson Confederate Hospital.

One of the best-known covered bridges is the 204-foot single-span Burr arch truss known as Meem's Bottom Covered Bridge in Mount Jackson. The Meem's Bottom Bridge was constructed in 1892-93 from materials cut and quarried nearby for the massive arch supports and stone abutments, which extended 10 feet below the riverbed. It was deeded to the Highway Department in the 1930's in return for assuming its maintenance. This long span over the North Fork of the river carried traffic for more than 80 years before being burned by vandals on Halloween 1976. After salvaging the original timbers, the bridge was reconstructed and eventually undergirded with steel beams and concrete piers. The bridge was reopened to traffic in 1979 and is still in operation to date. One of the many stops along the Wilderness Trail in Shenandoah County.

From the moment we dropped our first batch of chips back in the early days of 1992, we understood our destiny as a high quality producer. Instead of succumbing to the frenzy of mass production, we took advantage of our small size and made chipping our personal art form. The payoff was immediate: an incredible potato chip! Our factory is open to the public Mondays – Saturdays, 9am-5pm. We are closed on major holidays. Take I-81 exit 269, go toward Shenandoah Caverns, right on Industrial Rd., ½ mile.

Discover Historic Dayton: Small Town, Hometown, Downtown

Dayton is a small town located in the center of the Shenandoah Valley, two miles south of Harrisonburg along Route 42, and is one of the oldest settled communities in Rockingham County, and the County’s second oldest incorporated town. Home to about 1,500 people, Dayton is surrounded by prime agricultural farmland, mostly owned by members of the Old Order Mennonite community. With working farms and open spaces, traveling through Dayton and the surrounding area is a step back to an earlier time where horse-drawn buggies remain a common form of travel on rural roads throughout the community. Visit the Town of Dayton’s website at www.daytonva.us for more information.

The historic city of Staunton is conveniently located in the heart of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley between the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny Mountains is a must for every visitor to Virginia. A guided or self-guided walking tour through five National Historic Districts will transport you through Staunton’s 250-year heritage. Staunton has one architectural advantage over most of other small towns in the Shenandoah Valley: it was unscathed in the Civil War, and many of its 18th and early 19th century homes and buildings still stand and are wonderfully preserved. There are more than sixty shops and twenty restaurants packed into the architecturally-rich and compact downtown. This compact urban area still retains its l9th-century charm and “Main Street” ambience. Although Staunton was founded in 1747, most of the buildings date from the “boom” years between 1860 and 1920. Downtown Staunton, one of Virginia’s finest collections of Victorian era architecture. Relax and unwind at a hospitable hotel, Inn or Bed and Breakfast. Staunton’s historic charm and warm hospitality will make your visit an unforgettable excursion into America’s past.

South River's 4-mile Run

Waynesboro offers a unique setting for paddlers since the leisurely South River winds right through the city. As the river meanders through Waynesboro, it flows north past city neighborhoods, streets, parks, and downtown. Paddle this route and you will see; it links them all. This is the Waynesboro Water Trail, a portion of the greater South River Blueway. As you float the river’s gentle current you will experience Waynesboro as never before. There are times on this short journey when you lose yourself in the feeling of wilderness, if not for the sound of a passing train pulling you back to the city beyond the river’s edge. History and industry peek out from the shoreline, hinting at the foundation on which the city was built. Put in at Ridgeview Park and paddle the river for a four-mile run to Basic Park, or shorten that journey by using any of the several access points along the way. You will experience a one-of-a-kind perspective on this charming city.

Sherando Lake

Pioneer Farm at Humpback Rocks

At Humpback Rocks the National Park Service has recreated a typical mountain farm as it might have appeared shortly before the turn of the century. This site was originally a Land Grant tract, dispensed by the Governor of the Commonwealth to induce pioneers to settle the Blue Ridge Mountains and establish the border of the Western Frontier. Later this tract became known as the William J. Carter Farm, when he purchased it for $3.00 per acre, Confederate money. The original buildings have long since disappeared, but were replaced by other authentic pioneer buildings moved here from nearby and reassembled. The farm is located on the Blue Ridge Parkway near mile post five. Access to the US Forest Service’s Sherando Lake is nearby, and a picnic area is located a few miles down the Parkway.

The Sherando Lake Recreation Area, a very popular destination in the Blue Ridge Mountains that offers family camping, group camping, family picnic sites, a group picnic area, swimming and a sand beach, fishing and hiking. A 25 acre lake offers opportunities for swimming in a designated area with sand beach, fishing and boating, just a short walk across the road from the group picnic shelter. The swimming area has no lifeguards, so visitors swim at their own risk. Fishing is in stocked waters in spring and fall and visitors are responsible for having the appropriate state licenses and National Forest stamp prior to fishing. From Interstate 64: Take exit 96 off Interstate 64. Go South on State Rt. 624. The road number changes to State Rt. 664 at Lyndhurst. Continue South on State Rt. 664 approximately 8 miles to the entrance.

Visit Lexington and Rockbridge County

Not all small towns are created equal. Some are merely small. Lexington has preserved its small town feel, while adding unique boutique shopping and dining experiences. When Hollywood looked to capture the charm of 19th century America for “Sommersby,” they chose Downtown Lexington, and when “Gods and Generals” sought the essence of Civil War military bearing, they selected the historic campus of Virginia Military Institute. However, if dining is your destination, and you want it done right, Lexington can delight any palate. See sites and sights that are among the most special in all of Southwest Virginia. Prowl fine art galleries for that perfect piece. In our shops, you’ll find just what you want. Browse bookstores for everything from new age to the classics. Go antiquing. Complete your wardrobe. Nab those one-of-a-kind sundries and notions that make the perfect gift. Find not only what you want but also what you need. Bed and breakfast or spend the night in historic accommodations. Discover why Lexington is the biggest small town you’ll ever encounter.

Stonewall Jackson House

Discover the man who became a legend. The Stonewall Jackson House in historic downtown Lexington is the only home that the famous Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson ever owned. Jackson and his second wife, Mary Anna Morrison, lived in the brick and stone house before the Civil War. Tours of the house focus on Jackson’s civilian life as a professor, church leader, businessman, and husband.

Chessie Nature Trail

The Chessie Nature Trail parallels the Maury River, connecting Lexington and Buena Vista. A 7-mile rail-trail, the Chessie’s path is comprised of a portion of the old Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad bed as well as canal towpaths and boat lochs. It’s the perfect place to hike and run because it’s easily accessible while also boasting abundant natural beauty. The trail hugs the Maury as it flows eastward, streaming under bridges, beside old warehouses and past pastures and homes and what’s left of the canal system. Wooden benches along the way offer places to stop and rest and enjoy the peace.

Situated between the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Alleghany Mountains, and the Maury River is the City of Buena Vista. If your expectations include commanding views and a relaxing atmosphere, you won’t be disappointed. But you can expect a lot more…A vibrant business community, fantastic events, and an abundance of recreational opportunity already exist in Buena Vista. But we are working hard everyday to make Buena Vista an even better place to own a business, make a home, or take a weekend trip. Take a look around and we are sure that you’ll agree that good views are just the beginning. With access to natural areas near by such as the Appalachian Trail, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and over 58,000 acres of National Forest, there is no shortage of opportunity for exploration in the open air. In addition to the great outdoors, Buena Vista offers developed recreational areas. Glen Maury Park consists of 315 acres of scenic, level and rolling land, and is owned and operated by the City of Buena Vista. There are many activities and events held throughout the year at the park. The Vista Links provides an 18-hole, par-72 executive golf course developed by Rick Jacobson featuring all the amenities. Take your pick... from golfing to hiking and tubing to biking, or just sightseeing, Buena Vista has something for the whole family to enjoy.

Southern Virginia University’s Main Hall is the second “grand hotel” built on the hill overlooking the town of Buena Vista. It was built in 1891, after the first hotel on the site was destroyed by fire in July of 1890. Today it is the last surviving Shenandoah Valley “boom” hotel from the 1890s period. It is a Virginia Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings.

Natural Bridge

Buchanan

Natural Bridge, one of nature’s unbelievable geological formations, is a awe inspiring sight in the daytime. Under the bridge, after dark, experience the “Drama of Creation” with music, narration, and special lighting. Along the pathway under the bridge you’ll see 1,000 year old Arbor Vitae trees, Lace Waterfalls, Lost River, and Salt Peter Mine. Take a leisurely stroll beyond the bridge on our oldest and most wellknown trail. The trail begins at Cascade Falls near the Cedar Creek Cafe, passes under the Bridge, and follows the creek to Lace Falls—for a total walking distance of about a mile on relatively flat land. The Natural Bridge, 36,000 tons of limestone at 1,160 feet above sea level, with a 90 foot span about 245 feet above Cedar Creek and a width of 50-100 feet, carries US 11 and its traffic across the wide steep ravine carved by the creek.

Historic Buchanan Theater Nestled within the steep slopes of Purgatory Mountain and Cove Mountain, the Town of Buchanan is an attractive place to live, shop and stroll. You are invited to peel back layers of history in downtown Buchanan where treasures from the past and present await your discovery. Downtown Buchanan contains the area’s highest concentration of historic homes, stores and churches making up the area’s largest, National Register Historic District. Downtown is home to many civic and cultural events. www.townofbuchanan.com/.
