Nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Harrisonburg and Rockingham County provide visitors with unsurpassed culinary options, a thriving arts community, endless outdoor adventures, a vibrant downtown, and a diverse mix of performances, annual events, and festivals.
The Appalachian Trail and Virginia Main Street Community is populated with several cozy bed & breakfasts and luxurious hotels, each ready to welcome you with a unique lodging experience.
Arrive in style by flying into the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport. By providing the quickest, most convenient access to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with well-timed departures and arrivals, the airport makes it easy and affordable to fly local.
Trendy, locally-owned restaurants, museums, and art galleries connect historic downtown Harrisonburg to James Madison University, creating one of Virginia’s first designated Arts & Cultural Districts. This 10-block walk passes by a handful of museums including the Virginia Quilt Museum, Explore More Discovery Museum, Harrisonburg Fire Department Museum, and Valley Turnpike Museum, as well as the Harrisonburg
Farmers Market, Court Square Theater, and parts of two National Historic Districts.
In Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, and the surrounding areas, there are eight designated National Historic Districts: Harrisonburg Downtown and Harrisonburg Old Town Historic Districts, Port Republic, Bridgewater, Dayton, Massanetta Springs, Singers Glen, and the Skyline Drive Historic Districts. These designated areas are hotspots for self-guided walking tours.
Uptown is filled with national favorites including popular restaurants and shops, so whatever you came for, you’ll leave with that and more! If you’re looking for an eco-friendly vacation, you’ll find it in Harrisonburg. Harrisonburg and Rockingham County are home to over 33 Virginia Green designated businesses and our city, the first in Virginia to offer guests access to electric car charging stations, and Harrisonburg encourages cycling as a healthy and green form of transportation.
Begin your adventure at the Hardesty-Higgins House Visitor Center, where hospitable travel specialists welcome you with information to help you plan your
Harrisonburg area getaway.

Harrisonburg is the Cycling Capital of
the Shenandoah Valley, offering the
material and natural resources needed
for green travelers. Many city streets
have markings known as “sharrows,”
indicating that the lane is used for both cyclists and
motorists to share. Harrisonburg was honored by the
League of American Bicyclists as a Bronze Award
Level Bicycle Friendly Community and recognized as a
Bronze Level Ride Center by the International Mountain
Bicycling Association. In addition, Harrisonburg was
recently named Best Biking Community by Blue Ridge
Outdoors Magazine.
Multiple levels of road and mountain bicycling trails are
supported by a variety of local and regional businesses
offering quality products and services. Check out
Rocktown Trails at Hillandale Park, which offers three
different levels of trails to appeal to cyclists of all skill
levels. Our area is also home to numerous bike rental
and repair shops, each ready to serve you on your
bike-friendly vacation. These cycling enthusiasts can
also assist you in mapping out your rides!
While you’re here, join in on a casual community ride
where everyone is welcome. Typically these social
rides happen once per week and are fun for all! Want
something more heart-pumping? Sign up in advance
for one of the area’s numerous competitive annual
events, like the challenging Massanutten Hoo-Ha! or
the intense Alpine Loop Gran Fondo.

Garnering the title of “The Breadbasket
of the Confederacy,” the areas of
Harrisonburg, Rockingham County,
and the Shenandoah Valley played
significant roles during the American
Civil War. Harrisonburg was at the crossroads of two
major highways: the Valley Turnpike (modern-day Rt.
11) and the Rockingham Turnpike (modern-day Rt.
33). The city was also located about 25 miles north of a
huge Confederate rail and supply center in Staunton.
At the time, Rockingham County was one of the most
prosperous agricultural counties in the nation.
Explore iconic Civil War sites including key battlefields,
cemeteries where soldiers were buried, and sites
involved in The Burning with Harrisonburg and
Rockingham County’s Battles on the Home Front
driving tour. Stop at the Hardesty-Higgins House Visitor
Center to pick up your driving tour map and brochure;
these documents will help guide you through nearly 30
trail sites within a 20 mile radius.
Visit The Heritage Museum, located in Dayton, where
you can view an electric map highlighting Stonewall
Jackson’s Valley Campaign of 1862 and visit their
bookstore with a unique selection of Civil War history
and family research. Continue to soak up Civil War
history at CrossRoads (Valley Brethren-Mennonite)
Heritage Center, where you can find exhibits and a
video on the settling of the Shenandoah Valley by the
Brethren and Mennonites, including in Civil War times.
Travel to Grottoes and visit Grand Caverns, a Natural
National Landmark that features over 200 signatures of
Civil War soldiers.

Agritourism comes naturally to the Shenandoah Valley, and the Metro Area truly embraces our unique and robust reputation. As the top agricultural-producing County in Virginia, our poultry, beef, pork, dairy, and all manner
of fruit and vegetable offerings are legendary. Our farmers markets and roadside stands are abundant so bring your appetite and get ready to sample the local flavors! While downtown visit the Harrisonburg Farmers Market or traveling north the Broadway Farmers Market where you can meet the farmers who with heart and soul provide a bounty of delicious Valley favorites.
Enjoy a variety of locally-brewed beers at Three Brothers Brewing Co., a popular brewery located inside a renovated Coca-Cola bottling plant that is dedicated to producing quality and unique craft beer utilizing the support of the local community. The brewing brothers frequently host beer tastings, live music, and food trucks at their venue, making it a fun hangout for visitors and residents. Harrisonburg voted Best Beer Town by Blue Ridge Outdoor magazine is 2013, joining Three Brothers in 2014 is “Three Notch’d” and “Pale Fire Brewing Company”
Old Hill Cidery, located at Showalter’s Orchard and Greenhouse, is a Valley favorite offering more than 20 varieties of apples. The orchard processes its famous apple cider and hard cider on the premises, so make sure you stop for a cider tasting while taking in the breathtaking views of the property’s 40 acres of rolling countryside.
Relax by taking in the beauty of our area at one of our quality wineries. CrossKeys Vineyard and Bluestone Vineyard offer impressive panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. With tours, tastings, events, special dinners, and live music, these vineyards will provide you with endless entertainment.
Looking for gifts or souvenirs? Check out Downtown Wine & Gourmet and stock up on craft beer, wines, local coffees, and local gourmet chocolates. With nearly 300 beer varieties and 500 wine varieties, the shop has an endless selection of spirits, many brewed or fermented right here in Virginia. The shop also hosts weekly tastings, allowing you to sample a selection of their diverse beers and wines.
Agritourism
Thanks to its designation as a Downtown Culinary District (the first in the state to achieve such status), Harrisonburg has truly earned a reputation as The Dining Destination of the Shenandoah Valley. Literally bursting with culinary offerings and supportive of the local food movement in all kinds of delicious ways, Harrisonburg and Rockingham County welcome you to dine with us on a rooftop, out on the patio, in a historic building, at the weekly Farmer’s Market or surrounded by local music and art – even as you watch your food prepared by one of our popular local food truck enterprises. The choices will amaze you and dazzle your tastebuds!
With a dynamic blend of live music, late-night dining menus, and specialty beer nights, many of the area’s local dining hotspots tout a vibrant nightlife scene. Music and specialty events combine with some of the best fare around at Clementine Café, Billy Jack’s Wing & Draft Shack, Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint and Corgans’ Publick House. Two locations offer hearty, wholesome goodness at A Bowl of Good Café, and no trip to Harrisonburg is complete without a savory European treat from New Leaf Pastry Kitchen. Looking for a romantic dinner for two complete with an extensive wine selection? Head to The Joshua Wilton House near the JMU campus or The Local Chop and Grill House – you’ll find luxe menu offerings featuring the freshest ingredients prepared with flair to tantalize you and your dining companion.
Uptown, dine at L’Italia or Bravo’s Italian Restaurant, where breads and sauces are made fresh daily. Feeling spicy? Feast at Hank’s Smokehouse and Southern Grillery, or Thunderbird Café, both are found just east of the city. For a light breakfast or lunch sandwich and small-batch hand roasted coffee and tea, stop by Greenberry’s Coffee Company.
From classic burgers with a twist at Union Station (where you’ll love the modern industrial vibe) to authentic Ethiopian dishes at Blue Nile, fresh seafood and thick steaks at Bluestone Inn to the down-home county spread at The Village Inn, the area’s variety of both locally-owned and nationally-recognized restaurants will take you on a culinary trip around the world, providing flavors to satisfy even the most discerning palette.

White Oak Lavender Farm is also a popular spot to not only taste homemade lavender lemonade, but also to pick up unique gifts made right on the farm like lavender spices, soaps, pillows, and
even sock monkeys.
Focused revitalization efforts as part of the Virginia Main Street Program have helped downtown Harrisonburg grow into a vibrant arts and shopping district, garnering the title as one of the best shopping
areas in the Shenandoah Valley by Virginia Living Magazine. Stroll through historic downtown and stop for fair trade artisan-crafted home decor, personal accessories, and gift items from across the globe at Ten Thousand Villages grab a few quirky collectibles at Glen’s Fair Price Store, and browse art supplies and local artwork at Oasis Fine Art & Craft and Larkin Arts. Locally-made and Fair Trade items are also available in other locations around Harrisonburg, such as at Artisans Hope, and the Valley Mall is home to all of your favorite nationally-recognized stores.
Travel the small towns minutes from the cities core where you can visit charming stores, offering locally-made goodies and fine handcrafts.
