Winter Festival of the Waters warm mineral waters frequented by Native Americans long before Europeans arrived in the New World, are at the heart of a mountain spa community in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson’s father, the waters for many centuries have drawn visitors seeking health and relief from the stress of everyday life.
In 1776, George Washington's family and friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the streets, and incorporated The Town of Bath, invoking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed, and the town and surrounding area are known by their name – Berkeley Springs. The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax’s public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation's smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country's First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia’s splendid outdoors. ß www.valleyrevue.com

Once “le front royal” or the “Royal Frontier” between French and British territories, local legend favors a more colorful origin for the town’s unusual name. According to this version, a giant oak tree, the “Royal” tree of England once stood in the public square. Visitors from the military will appreciate the frustrations of the drill sergeant as he attempted to train his unseasoned recruits for the local militia. At last, thoroughly exasperated by the inability of his troops to follow even the simplest command, he bellowed, “Front the Royal Oak!” Recitations of this story ultimately led to the variation, Front Royal, and the name stuck. Where the Royal Oak once reigned now stands a charming gazebo on the town square, within view of the Front Royal Visitor Center. Make this one of your first stops in town, followed by a stroll down Main Street, a slice of smalltown Americana lined with antique stores, galleries, and gift shops.
