Around Town...
Winchester-
Frederick County
Fully steeped in the charms of the
Shenandoah Valley, the town of
Winchester's picturesque, quaint
setting is only matched by its colorful
history and significant landmarks. The
town was once a crossroads for the
American Revolution, a battleground
for the Civil War, and the headquarters
for both George Washington and
Stonewall Jackson, which are all part
of the historic quilt that knits the area
together.
Winchester is also known as the "apple
capital" with its vast orchards and
robust apple export market. The annual
Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival
is complemented by a mix of other
markets, fests, live theater and music
throughout the year.
What started as a small town has grown
to become a delightful, family-oriented
community with an abundance of
cultural offerings and diversity of unique
retailers, shopping experiences, good
restaurants, and more, making it the
perfect setting for Shenandoah Valley
Westminster-Canterbury.
