Chasing rainbows in our VW, the way dogs chase cars. The Valley has much to offer in the way of adventure for any idle time on the weekend. Just a sample of area attractions are linked below in order of distance from the farm.
Grand Caverns: The Oldest Public Cave in the US, since 1806 (8 miles east to Grottoes, VA): Where stalactites hang ‘tight’ to the ceiling.
Birthplace of Woodrow Wilson, our 28th President (14 miles south to Staunton, VA): W.W. took us into W.W.1
American Shakespeare Center (14 miles south to Staunton, VA): Home to the world’s only precise historical reconstruction of Shakespeare’s indoor theatre. A town by any other name would smell as sweet!
