I had just finished three days in Shenandoah National Park when I rolled into Winchester, Virginia. It was an unusually hot and humid weekend in late summer – complete with epic thunderstorms and torrential downpours. But the clouds parted, and I found myself exploring one of the most gorgeous downtown areas I’ve come across in a small town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was too excited to capture photos throughout downtown, inside the museums, and everywhere I explored in Winchester. The old world charm added a layer of tranquility to the experience. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located beside the visitor center, Abram’s Delight was a great place to begin my exploration of Winchester. Through a guided tour of the historic home I learned about the early history of the frontier town and picked up more than a few tips for the visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stonewall Jackson’s Headquarter was another fascinating house museum in Winchester, but I wasn’t allowed to capture any photos inside. Instead, I made do with this photo of a canon on display in the front yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest reason I wanted to spend a couple of days in Winchester was the town’s connection to George Washington. At just 16 years old, Washington worked as a frontier land surveyor for a proprietor. This statue of Washington is probably the only one to depict him as a teenager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admittedly, the Patsy Cline Historic House wasn’t much to photograph. It was a very simple home – kept much the way as when she lived there. But I laughed when I captured this moment because just a week earlier I had told someone a museum isn’t complete with a Singer sewing machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most surprising thing I discovered in Winchester was Old Town. The center two blocks of town are devoid of traffic, instead allowing pedestrians only to walk the brick street connecting shops, restaurants, and homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
