You could easily spend 2-3 hours viewing the museum (with 40-minute movie), the battlefield, and the Bushong Farm buildings. Also be sure to check out the two overlooks where you get a nice view of the Shenandoah River.

Great spot for family photos both above and below the bridge. It is very quiet and the water is pretty clear. Lots of rocks - wear water shoes if you go so the rocks don’t hurt your feet.

The largest museum in Shenandoah County (VA), open year-round, is housed in a large grist mill built in 1848 and one of the few that survived the burning of the Shenandoah Valley in the Civil War. It houses 3 floors of exhibits about past life in Shenandoah County. Facility has 2 gift shops, elevator, small theater with daily showings of the movie, "The Burning" based on the book, about the burning of the valley during the Civil War, by John Heatwole. Exhibits cover transportation, farming, small town living, military, clothing, household items, businesses, small town living, Red Cross, town coronet bands, and much more. The Mill sits along the bank of Stony Creek, where a small flock of ducks are in residence. The building also houses a full service restaurant, The Edinburg Mill Restaurant and a wine shop. Banquet rooms are available and there is ample parking.

Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935, the Woodstock Tower Observation Site offers a stunning 360-degree view of the town of Woodstock, Fort Valley and the Seven Bends of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River at over 2,000 feet. The area is now part of the George Washington National Forest and abounds in hiking trails and areas for camp sites. From I-66, take exit 6 at Front Royal. Turn south on US 340/522 toward the town of Front Royal. Turn right on VA 55 west to Waterlick. Turn left onto SR 678 south and continue to Detrick. Turn right onto SR 758 or Woodstock Tower Road for about four miles to the top of the mountain. The footpath to the tower is on your left. Be aware, Woodstock Tower Road is not accessible to trailers, motor homes or RVs due to curves and steep grades.

Site of the 1864 Civil War Battle of New Market
Reviewed By C1195PIcarolw - Pittsburgh, United States
We were astounded at this extensive collection of artifacts from antiquity through present-day, complete with informative annotations for each display. Items include a bronze spear from the Battle of Megiddo (1479 B.C.), ancient Egyptian items, beautifully beaded Native American clothing, Martha Washington's watch (given to her by the Marquis de Lafayette), a lock of Robert E. Lee's hair, Jefferson Davis' Remington pistols, dozens of miniature tintype photos of Civil War soldiers. a painting done by Adolf Hitler in 1913 (plus his leather portfolio, desk blotter, Swiss watch and more), Sgt Alvin York's jacket, a Viet Cong rifle and shotgun, early American coins and currency, flags from all time periods... Most amazing is that it is the private collection of one man, John Bracken, who has built this beautiful museum to showcase the thousands of items he has collected and preserved over the past 65 years! One should allow at least a couple hours to walk the hallways of attractive exhibits filled with significant historic artifacts.

Fantastic pizza, good beer and a great environment. We visited on a Friday afternoon, when it wasn't too crowded, and they've done a good job spacing out tables inside and out for social distancing. They offer beer flights to let you try out their selection - I liked the Dirty Blonde and the Berry Shandy but found the Red Clay a little to bitter for my taste. The pizza was definitely the highlight - both the Mexican and the Chef's were fantastic. Definitely off the beaten path, but a nice drive and a great lunch. Will definitely return again if we're in the area. Tip: There's not much signage in the drive up, but our GPS took us right to the spot.
