Staunton, Virginia is one of the oldest towns in the Blue Ridge Mountains. As soon as you arrive to this scenic corner of Virginia, you'll be immersed in nature, history, and small town charm.
Many of the buildings you'll find in Staunton date back to the 18th and 19th centuries and, unlike other areas of the Blue Ridge, Staunton was mostly spared from Civil War destruction.
Aside from historical charm, you'll see plenty of modern twists. The massive flower pots installed downtown are a nod to Staunton's whimsical and artistic community.
One of the most unique aspects of Staunton is the world-famous American Shakespeare Center. This replica of Shakespeare's indoor theatre is the only of its kind.
