Staunton is a small, handsome city in the Shenandoah Valley whose Victorian downtown escaped major damage in the Civil War and remains remarkably intact. It is the birthplace of Woodrow Wilson, the home of Mary Baldwin University and the American Shakespeare Center, whose Blackfriars Playhouse is a re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theater. Tourism, healthcare, education and manufacturing support the local economy, and the surrounding farmland and orchards give the valley its rural character.

Staunton is about two and a half hours from Washington and two from Richmond by car, much of it on busy I-81 and I-64. Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport sits between Staunton and Harrisonburg, a short drive from downtown, and private flights make weekend theater trips and visits to nearby Charlottesville simple. Visitors come for the Shakespeare performances, Victorian architecture, an excellent restaurant scene for a town this size, Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway, which begin just east of the city.
