Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

Don't miss this classic church with stained glass by Tiffany. The current building is the third Trinity Church. The original building was the only place the Virginia Legislature ever met other than Richmond. Mr. Jefferson brought the Legislature to Staunton during the Revolutionary war. If you are in town on Sunday feel free to attend services and enjoy an impressive organ and Choir.

St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church is dedicated to imitating the love and faithfulness of Jesus Christ by sharing the Gospel in word and deed. We worship the Holy Trinity according to the Faith and Tradition of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Our witnessing to the Faith is accomplished through the sacramental life, our values, traditions; stewardship, fellowship, service, and Christian education.

This is a beautiful building on top of the hill. We came just in time when the mass ended we were inside the church all by ourselves. The stain glass is beautiful. It was very peaceful in there. It is a must visit in the area.

In response to the outbreak of COVID-19, St. John’s Church is open on Saturdays only, starting March 6, 2021. Check our social platforms for updates. Historic St. John's Church - where Patrick Henry gave his 'give me liberty or give me death' speech.
I stopped here on a visit to the Richmond Area and took the guided tour. I learned so much about Patrick Henry and sooo much more about the events leading up to the American revolution. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend stopping here!
