If you're out leaf peeping in autumn, hiking in spring, river running in summer, enjoying a cozy fire at the cabin in winter, or just cruising the backroads of the treasure that is Page County Virginia , you have to stop by the Massanutten Country Corner. This is a treasure within a treasure. It has it all, flowers for mom, ice cream for dad, treats and sweets for the kids and goats and piggies for the wee ones. Lots of local veggies, honey, cider, jams, jellies, meats, ice cream and lots of crafts and gifts by local artisans. The artwork and paintings of familiar local scenes by valley artist are incredible. Oh and did I mention Homestead Creamery Ice Cream? The best ice cream in (and from) the valley!! Check out the koi pond and the garden shop and take in the breathtaking view of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east, the Massanutten Range to the west and the beautiful Page Valley nestled in between. The owners Jeff and Kristin are pretty special too, so nice and have truly never met a stranger and if you have any questions about the local area just ask Miss Brenda, she knows all things Page County. And if you're lucky you will catch a glimpse of Corky the Security Cat, but rest assured Corky is watching you!!

George C. Marshall Museum

The independent Marshall Foundation perpetuates Marshall's legacy through scholarship, leadership and statesmanship programs and facilities (including a museum and research library) that offer a wide range of resources and materials for use by the general public, amateur historians, scholars and students of all ages.

Reviewed By 866TaylorB - Chicago, United States

The George C. Marshall Museum and Library on the campus of Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, honors the legacy of a man who was the first five-star general and Army Chief of Staff during World War II, Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense following the war and the only person to hold all three high offices. Open to the public five days a week, it displays exhibits of Marshall's life and work in the entry hall and two adjacent galleries, one focused on his military career and the other on his achievements following the war. Visitors will see the medallion and certificate of his 1953 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded after he founded the Marshall Plan in 1947 that made a economic and political commitment to post-war European recovery. The library and museum cover his career as a military officer and public servant from 1900 to 1959, when he retired from public service. British prime minister Winston Churchill called Marshall the "architect of victory" of World War II. The impressive complex contains a library, archive, museum and administrative offices of the Marshall Foundation, which opened in 1964 at VMI, Marshall's alma mater. It is a depository for more than 23,000 manuscripts, two million documents, hundreds of maps, thousands of photographs, 700 posters, reels of film and over 200 oral histories. Visitors are encouraged to watch a film of Marshall's career and a map that details all aspects and important engagements of World War II. Marshall died in 1959 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

My husband and I were in town for vacation and visited the Welcome Center on 6/25/19 in search of hiking information. Nellie welcomed us and went well out of her way to find the perfect hike for us. She was caring and kind and listened to our needs. Her smile and effort was just what we needed. We went hiking on the trail she recommended and were so happy with the hike that we came back the following day to thank her in person. Thank you Nellie and Front Royal Visitor Center!
