Shenandoah Valley

Mark Edward Atkinson

Tucked in the blue ridge, our Shenandoah Valley presents a combination of assets unique to Virginia: breathtaking displays of nature in Shenandoah National Park; vineyards and microbreweries complemented by a culinary landscape of national note and regional renown (including restaurants like The Shack, Zynodoa and Local Chop & Grill House); and top-rung culture at places like the Garth Newel Music Center in Warm Springs and James Madison University’s Forbes Center for the Performing Arts. Traverse the Valley and tip your hat to Virginia’s Civil War history: VMI, whose cadets stepped up to fight when called upon, and Washington and Lee University, named in part for Gen. Robert E. Lee. Perhaps the best visual representation of the Shenandoah Valley can be found at the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia, where life-size recreations and displays of living history give a tangible glimpse into the birth of America’s pioneer spirit, forged right here.
