History Winchester and Frederick County were once Shawnee Indian camping grounds to which Pennsylvania Quakers came to settle in the 1730s. In the 18th and 19th centuries, The Great Valley Road, now known as Route 11, served as a migration trail.

Throughout history, the Winchester-Frederick County area has played an important role in the development of our nation. Winchester was the first English-speaking town west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Frederick County was the military and political training ground for George Washington.

In Winchester, visitors can walk the same streets that George Washington, Patsy Cline, and Stonewall Jackson once walked. See impressive monuments of polar explorer Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, General Daniel Morgan of Revolutionary War fame, and George Washington, the father of our country. View the amazing architecture of buildings that witnessed

SHENANDOAH VALLEY CIVIL WAR MUSEUM

Frederick County Millions of Americans can trace their heritage to Frederick County, Virginia! During the 1730s, it was the destination of early settlers – newly arrived English, Scots, Irish, and German immigrants who came from Pennsylvania in search of inexpensive, fertile farmland.

Today, Frederick County offers a wealth of opportunities for genealogists and historians. The Frederick County Clerk’s records were never lost or burned; they cover 1743 to the present.

Virginia Farm Market

Frederick County has Civil War battlefields, beautiful public parks, Winchester Speedway, Winchester Regional Airport, and Rock Harbor Golf Course.

West Oaks Farm Market

Family owned farm markets, featuring locally grown fruits, vegetables and meats, are plentiful.

Frederick County’s stately antebellum courthouse with its huge white pillars served as a hospital and prison during the Civil War, and is now home to the Shenandoah Valley Civil War Museum.

The statue of a Confederate soldier, standing guard outside is the most photographed point-ofinterest in the area. fcva.us

STONEWALL JACKSON’S HEADQUARTERS

Winchester Winchester is the oldest city west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it was founded in 1744 by Colonel James Wood of England. The town was originally named Frederick Town after Frederick, father of George III of England. In 1752, the name was changed to Winchester in honor of the ancient English capital.

Old Town Winchester’s two-block pedestrian mall was the first one of its kind in Virginia. In Old Town, visitors can dine alfresco, discover unique shops, see centuries-old architecture, and explore museums. Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum, George Washington’s Office Museum, Shenandoah Valley Civil War Museum, and Stonewall Jackson’s Headquarters are located in Old Town.
