Front Royal

Front Royal East Main Street Front Royal Gazebo Commons Scenic Front Royal is where the famed 105-mile Skyline Drive begins, offering visitors an incredible, birds-eye view of the entire Valley as it winds it’s way through the 159,000-acre Shenandoah National Park. The town is also where the two forks of the Shenandoah River converge, so canoeing and fishing are plentiful.

Welcome to the charming and historic town of Woodstock, Virginia! This adorable little town, with a population of about 3,500 is nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, between the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains. The town was established by charter in 1761 by none other than George Washington in Virginia’s House of Burgesses and has been the county seat since Shenandoah County was formed in 1772. The limestone courthouse in the center of town was built in 1795 and was designed by Thomas Jefferson. Woodstock is the perfect destination for people who love spectacular mountain views. There are vineyard tours and wine tasting, first class golf courses, caverns, Civil War battlefields, museums, horse back riding, skiing, and hiking nearby. If you are thinking of moving here Woodstock is the perfect place to live if you’re looking for a small, peaceful community in a breath-taking mountain setting. Residents of Woodstock love the casual and relaxed way of life that exists within the town and throughout the Shenandoah Valley. They also appreciate the town’s proximity to the nation’s capital and it’s short distance from two cities—Winchester and Harrisonburg. It’s a wonderful place to raise your children or to enjoy your golden years.

Mt. Jackson

Meem’s Bottom Bridge

The Mt. Jackson Town Hall includes a tourist information center and a museum where you can learn more about Mt. Jackson’s history. 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. You won’t want to miss the natural beauty of Shenandoah Caverns, American Celebration on Parade, and The Yellow Barn.

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.

At the New Market Battlefield Park you can explore the farm which Jacob and Sarah Bushing started in 1818. The current home was built in 1825. Three generations of their family found shelter in the basement as the battle raged around them. After the battle, the house would serve as a field hospital for a week, leaving permanent blood stains in the parlor. The orchard just behind the house is where the fiercest fighting occurred. Today, visitors can explore nine structures interpreting mid-ninteenth century Shenandoah Valley farm life.

The Town of Dayton

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 detailed information on events and other 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.

The Wharf Historic District

The area of Staunton surrounding the railroad station is known as The Wharf, a curious name for a neighborhood that is nowhere near a wharf! In fact, the name is an historical one dating to the 19th century. The warehouses in this neighborhood reminded people of buildings that you might see along a wharf. In Staunton’s case, the railroad acts in same manner as a wharf, and in fact, the neighborhood’s old warehouses really do look like those that one might see along the waterfront of a port city. The Wharf Historic District harks to the days when the railroad changed Staunton from a rural village to a center of commerce. Since 1972 the Wharf Historic District has been on the National Register of Historic Places, and its depot and other preserved buildings houses restaurants, antique shops and specialty boutiques.

Established in 1797, the town was named for General Anthony Wayne, a hero of the Revolutionary War, but it was in the Civil War that Waynesboro distinguished itself. Re-enactors still recreate the Battle of Waynesboro each year. Stop by the Plumb House Museum, the oldest city residence, which straddled battle lines. Also, you’ll want to visit the Waynesboro Heritage Museum at the corner of Main Street & Wayne Avenue. The museum has a wonderful collection of pictures, photographs, antiques, collectibles, and Valley Native American artifacts. A short walk will take you to the Shenandoah Valley Art Center, Fishburne Military School, P. Buckley Moss Art Gallery, and the Wayne Theatre in historic downtown. Because of Waynesboro’s beautiful location, there are a variety of recreational activities to enjoy: Fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, golf, horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, and skiing. Each year, Waynesboro plays host to several annual events including the the Blue Ridge Soap Box Derby Classic, the Virginia Fall Foliage Festival and Art Show, and the Virginia Chili, Blues n’ Brews Festival. Waynesboro is also known for its Run the Valley race series and numerous live outdoor music offerings throughout the summer months.

The P. Buckley Moss Gallery of Waynesboro

Visitors to our gallery will experience a splendor of color, culture, and beauty. Canadian Geese for example, an almost trademark pair painted by Pat, was inspired by the ancient belief that in art these proud birds represent Divine Providence and loyalty (probably because they arrive with the seasons and mate for life). This month we are featuring our new print, Swanky Rooster. This print will be released at our July 7-9 Barn Show and Gallery Open House. Be sure to “save the date” for our Barn Show and Gallery Open House where you will meet P. Buckley Moss, the artist, July 7-9 in Waynesboro.

Visit our Gallery in Waynesboro, Virginia! Enjoy the imagery and inspiration of America's most celebrated living artist P. Buckley Moss, who has been inspired by the scenery and people of the Shenandoah Valley throughout her career. Pat became captivated by the life and culture of the Amish and Mennonite people of the area when moving her family there over 30 years ago. She embraced the local landscapes, lifestyles, and traditions and felt that the life and culture she was part of held an important message: live simply and enjoy every moment!

P. Buckley Moss Gallery, 329 West Main St. Waynesboro, VA 22980; (540) 949-6473.

Gallery hours: Monday– Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. & Sunday 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. Live near Blacksburg? Please visit our sister gallery located at 223 Gilbert Street, Blacksburg, VA 24060 (540-552-6446.)

The Waynesboro Heritage Museum is located at 420 West Main Street. The hours are 9-5 pm Tuesday through Saturday. It is located in a 1908 newly renovated bank building at the corner of Wayne Avenue and Main Street downtown. The Waynesboro Heritage Museum houses permanent galleries of relics from the town’s founding, industries, educational institutions, and more. Exhibit galleries, nTelos audio-visual room, and gift shop are featured. Both the Waynesboro Heritage Museum and the Plumb House are supported by the Waynesboro Heritage Foundation.

Waynesboro Water Trail

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.

Get ready. Summer Extravaganza will be held on July 8. Craft Show starts at 10am with music beginning shortly after at 11:45 and it won't stop until the fireworks go off around 9:30 that evening. There's food and amusement rides as well.

Sherando Lake

Blue Ridge Parkway The Blue Ridge Parkway, sometimes called “America’s Favorite Drive”, is the most visited unit of America’s National Park System. A drive down the Parkway provides stunning, long range vistas and close-up looks at the natural and cultural history of the southern Appalachian mountains. It is designed as a drive-awhile and stop-awhile experience, so please don’t be in a hurry. The 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway intersects with the Skyline Drive at Afton Mountain in Waynesboro. It connects the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to the Great Smokey Mountain National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a toll-free National Park which offers a spectacular view, quiet, leisurely travel along the mountain crests, and many recreational activities. The numerous pull-offs along the road offer beautiful outlooks perfect for photographs, campgrounds, picnic areas, and hiking trails. The most famous of hiking trails on the Blue Ridge Parkway is the Appalachian Trail, but there are many others in order to suit everyone. Peaceful meadows strewn with an abundance of native flowers such as azalea and dogwood can be easily discovered. Just off the exits, antique and craft shops, resorts, inns, hotels, rental homes, cabins, caverns, historical museums, and restaurants to suit all are located. Open year round to enable visitors to enjoy all four seasons, the Blue Ridge Parkway attracts 24 million people annually, and the numbers are growing steadily. The park information number at 828298-0398 is your best source for upto-date information on special events, blooms, or temporary closures due to weather conditions or construction.

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.

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.

Shenandoah National Park-Skyline Drive

Rockfish Gap Country Store

The McCormick Farm, also known as Walnut Grove, was the family farm of Cyrus Hall McCormick, who improved and patented the mechanical reaper and “brought about the greatest revolution in farming since the invention of the plow.” From a meager beginning in a small blacksmith shop in Steeles Tavern evolved a company that would grow to become one of the world’s manufacturing giants, the International Harvester Company. A restored blacksmith shop, gristmill and musuem are open to the public and provide a look at McCormick the man and his invention. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily; admission is free. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962, the McCormick Farm is owned by Virginia Tech and the historic core is open to the public. The farm is located in northern Rockbridge County and southern Augusta County, Virginia. To reach the McCormick Farm, take Exit 205 off I-81 at Raphine onto Rt. 606.

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 Area Attractions

The Caverns of Natural Bridge originally known as Buck Hill Caves were first opened to the public on April 29, 1978. It consist of three levels where you’ll find streams, hanging gardens, flowstone cascades, stalagmites, stalactites, waterfall, totum poles, and many other formations. The Caverns are open from 9am to 5pm daily during the season. Guided tours generally last about 45 minutes and begin every 60 minutes. It is strongly recommended that you wear proper walking shoes to this attraction; the caverns are easily maneuvered if one has proper tennis shoes. Virginia Safari Park is Virginia’s only drive-thru zoo. The 180-acre park is home to over 1,000 exotic animals from 6 continents. You can also walk through the Safari Village, a ten acre walk-thru area. Stretch your legs and stroll along the paved walkways, with habitats the whole family will enjoy. Come see why people keep returning again and again.

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.
