Words will never explain how welcome you feel when you walk into this store! I always make this my first stop! (even before I check into my timeshare) Honestly, this peace of MT. Jackson keeps me hanging on to the moment I can go back. The people are super sweet and I almost have my entire living room full of items I purchased from just this store.

If you are looking for a quiet, well maintained, relaxing RV Park nestled at the foot of a mountain range in the Shenandoah Valley, this park is for you. YES, this park is everything the advertisements say it is and more. My wife and I were impressed by how quiet and in touch with nature the experience was. The staff is friendly and helpful. Frank and Sheri, the camp hosts expecially. Frank is constantly insuring everyone is having the best experience possible. They are both friendly and helpful. Of course, the experience is not complete without a tour of the Endless Caverns. Highly recommend this RV park.

Wolf Gap was a delight! The Mariage Reserve 2011 was absolutely delicious, among others. We were able to tour the grounds as well, and it is so beautiful there. The owners, Willie and Diane, were gracious and knowledgeable. It’s evident that they give attention to every detail in their home, business, and land. We will definitely be back again!

Beautiful views and excellent wine! The staff were very welcoming and accommodating! The wine was delicious as was the presentation (try the flights!) The cheese and olives were a great snack too. The space is very spread out which made it super “Covid-friendly.” The fire pits and heat lamps made it very comfortable. We had a relaxing afternoon and we will definitely be back before we leave the area.

The Strasburg Museum, which opened to the public in 1970 as a National Historic Landmark, celebrates over 250 years of life in a small town in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Located at 440 East King Street, the museum traces the rich heritage of settlers who resided in this area since the 1700s and also accounts for earlier Native American cultures. The museum building has a rich history, too. It was constructed in 1891 for use as a steam pottery and served in that capacity until 1909 when the last local pottery was closed. In 1913, the Southern Railway Company purchased the building for use as a passenger and freight depot. It served those functions until vacated in the 1960s. Then a group of Strasburg citizens, eager to preserve the rich historic and cultural heritage of the area, acquired the old depot and opened the museum in 1970. Open seven days a week with all volunteer docents from the first day of May through the end of October, the museum recounts the history of Strasburg and the Shenandoah Valley dating to the early 1700s and features exhibits on Native American artifacts, pottery, historic local photographs, Civil War memorabilia, Colonial and Victorian style rooms, an old country store display, antique clothes, a whiskey still, a telegrapher's key, a railway baggage car, blacksmith and copper collections, a working model railroad depicting Strasburg and the Southern Railway in the 1930s, a genuine red caboose, a family Bible that belonged to an ancestor of George Washington and a replica of a railroad engine that Colonel Thomas J. Jackson (later better known as Stonewall) confiscated during the Great Train Raid in 1861 in Strasburg. Another interesting exhibit in what has been described as "the best little museum in Virginia," is a picture of the Strasburg Massanutten Hose Company, which won the Virginia and World Reel Racing Team Championship competition in 1908. The original reel is on display in the museum with the names of the team members. For a $5 donation, it covers a lot of history.
