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 con tinued 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 Ed inburg partnered with the Edinburg Heri tage 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 WhileValley.theCivil War was devastating to Edinburg and the Madison District, the area returned to pre-war activity and people pros pered. 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 ca tering to arts and crafts as well as outdoor activities such as canoeing and fly fishing.

Edinburg really comes to life the 3rd Fri day evening of September, as the annual Ole Time Festival begins. The fun filled week end 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, com munity sing-a-long, old-timers baseball game, a Bed Race, a Duck Race and more.

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 abut ments, which extended 10 feet below the riverbed. It was deeded to the Highway Department in the 1930's in return for as suming 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 orig inal 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 Wil derness Trail in Shenandoah County.

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 sur rounded by prime agricultural farmland, mostly owned by members of the Old Or der 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.

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 foun dation 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 perspec tive on this charming city.

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 re assembled. The farm is located on the Blue Ridge Parkway near mile post five.

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.

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.

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 Gen erals” 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.
