Staunton

Staunton lies in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, where the folded ridges and broad valleys of the Appalachian region shape its setting. The compact historic centre preserves substantial late-19th- and early-20th-century architecture, giving downtown a distinctly civic and commercial character. The American Shakespeare Center stages productions at the Blackfriars Playhouse, a re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor Blackfriars Theatre. Staunton was also the birthplace of President Woodrow Wilson, whose presidential library and museum are housed in the former Presbyterian manse. Just beyond the centre, the Frontier Culture Museum uses historic farmsteads to interpret migration and rural life.
