Winchester

Winchester has served as a county seat and trading centre in Virginia’s northern Shenandoah Valley since the mid-18th century. The city lies near Opequon Creek, amid the rolling farmland and wooded ridges that define this part of the Appalachian region. Its position made Winchester a repeatedly contested strategic point during the American Civil War, and several local sites interpret that history. Old Town Winchester centres on a pedestrian mall lined with independent shops, restaurants and historic buildings, while the annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival reflects the valley’s long association with apple growing.
