All Augusta, All OUtside
Big Time Culture, Small Town Cool
Staunton
Staunton’s charming downtown is home to a vibrant arts and music scene, a sizzling reputation for local food, and a cool array of independent shops. Enjoy a fun-filled night of theater at the American Shakespeare Center, step back in time at the Frontier Culture Museum, discover your inner child at Pufferbellies or explore the legacy of Woodrow Wilson at his presidential library and museum. Grab a Mission-style burrito at Chicano Boy, an authentic pupusa at Gloria’s Pupuseria and the finest, freshest, seasonal ingredients at The Staunton Grocery, Zynodoa, Reunion Bakery & Espresso and The Shack.
Where Good Nature Comes Naturally
Waynesboro
Divinely placed among the adventure, Waynesboro’s Wayne Theatre is mere minutes from the Shenandoah National Park, South River Trout Fishery, Blue Ridge Tunnel and Appalachian Trail. Take in the galleries of the Shenandoah Valley Arts Center and the history of the Waynesboro Heritage Museum before lifting a glass at Blue Ridge Bucha, one of the first kombucha taprooms on the East Coast. Green Leaf Grill, The River Burger Bar, Papa’s Kitchen and Heritage on Main will feed a hiker’s hunger, while both Farmhaus Coffee and The French Press pour a perfect bean.
