    Only a few mins drive from Staunton, this open air museum has real buildings (some moved from overseas) that shows how life used to be in the 1700s and 1800s in chronological order. There are activities in most buildings (like blacksmithing) and many animals, which makes it a great place for kids. Educational without being overwhelming. Seeing everything takes half a day

    Cameras and Lenses everywhere you turn! I never knew there were as many styles and types of cameras as they have on display. Staff was very helpful and accommodating.

    Funny thing is that we had an understudy for Caesar, and he needed frequent prompting for his lines and didn't perform the opening song that the headline Caesar was supposed to perform, so our show was second-rate, and yet, it was great. The acting is very strong, and the songs are a huge hit. The intimacy of this replica theater is also special. We loved it.

    This is an amazing small, but mighty museum with all the pictures and biography of one of our greatest presidents of the USA. The stories are just so surreal and the knowledge that you will learn will really surprise you. This is a must see and do if you are in Staunton, VA.

    We enjoyed our visit very much. The church is breathtakingly beautiful. The hosts were friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us a brochure which gives information about each window. Pro tip: the church welcomes visitors only a few hours each week, so check their schedule online and plan accordingly.

    Big, many activities but for us the tribute monument to the Statlet Bros. Was number one. Lots of parking and lots of walking trails

    For first time riders, this was ideal. Carl was very good and the horses were calm and easy to ride. The ride was at a very slow pace and about an hour long. It went over some hills and through a steam.

    Small but Helpful visitor center in Staunton that provided us the information so we can peruse the town. We got an opportunity to visit the Woodrow Wilson Museum, check out the Camera Heritage Museum, and look into the train excursion.

    Well, where to start!!! This was an amazing excursion of 3 hours that takes you through the Blue Ridge Mts. of VA. We had a nice long ride thru various cities, had a narrator explain our journey, and we were treated to drinks, coffee, or tea. You also get a meal of your choice, chicken or salmon, vegetables, and a salad. They even give you a nice piece of chocolate cake for dessert. Definitely check out this train ride if you are in the area. Its worth every penny!!

    We had a full day to spend in Staunton, so we started round the corner from our hotel, at the R.R. Smith Centre. During our visit there was a display of fine colonial period silverware—both American and British. There was also a display of 17th and 18th century maps of French wine-growing regions, as well as notes from Thomas Jefferson’s tour of those regions in 1787. Both were fascinating. In the other gallery there was a marvellous display of artisanry from around the region: woodwork, pottery, painting, photography, weaving and more. The exhibition was competitively decided by a panel of judges. We very much enjoyed what we saw—and even lightened our wallets with a couple of purchases. As exhibitions regularly change, we’ll certainly stop in again when we are next here.
