Today was the third time I have been in the shop and Adam is such a great artist! He was showing me some of the rocks and crystals he has cut and he explained some of the pieces of jewellery that I was interested in. He makes beautiful pieces! Take time to really browse in the shop. There are treasures everywhere! Every time I am in Gordonsville I stop in. It is such a warm, welcoming place!!!!
2. The Exchange Hotel Civil War medical Museum
Overall Ratings

Welcome to the Exchange Hotel Civil War Medical Museum. Before the Civil War, the Exchange Hotel with its high ceiling parlors and grand veranda welcomed passengers from the two rail lines: the Virginia Central Railroad and the Orange & Alexandria Railroad. Soon after the completion of the hotel, the Civil War began. Troops, supplies, and wounded were transported on these railroads to Gordonsville. The Exchange Hotel became the Gordonsville Receiving Hospital which provided care for 70,000 soldiers, both Confederate and Union. In the reconstruction period, this hospital served the newly freed slaves as a Freedman's Bureau Hospital. As the United States healed and the railroads boomed, this graceful building returned to its role of hotel. Now fully restored, the hotel is a museum dedicated to the Civil War era.

This museum is fascinating and inspiring....info about hotel rooms for women in 1840s, civil war hospital that served soldiers from north and south (inspirational), nurses from Sisters of Charity (moving), info about medicine in 1900s which advanced from experiences with wounded soldiers, and the bravery of the soldiers. Also the site of a Freedman School for the freed slaves. Learned sooo much in a short period of time! I though $12 was too expensive to tour this old hotel. After going through it, I want to give a donation to the organization preserving it. History comes alive! Good for children and teens as well as adults.

We visited as part of a wine tour on an anniversary trip and it was an excellent experience. We would highly recommend visiting for a tasting. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the wine. We tried both tasting options and had a hard time narrowing down which ones to buy to take home. We were especially fans of the reds.

This place totally rocks! The winery has been kept in the family for years and they truly love what they do and make the experience so fun! They let us hang around a little after they closed (many wineries this way close at 5pm) and shared stories of the vineyard and process. Fun, quirky and AWESOME wine!
