The P. Buckley Moss Gallery
The P. Buckley Moss Gallery is located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley in Waynesboro, Virginia's, revitalized downtown area at 329 West Main Street. It is an appropriate setting for exhibiting the work of renowned artist Patricia Buckley Moss.
Natural Chimneys
The seven Natural Chimneys tower as much as 120 feet above the pastoral terrain of the Shenandoah Valley, offering onlookers a sight unrivaled in majesty. Viewed from one angle, the formations resemble enormous chimneys standing in bleak contrast to the greenery of the Valley. Take a few steps, though, and chimneys are transformed into the massive turrets of a foreboding medieval castle.
Skyline Drive
A 105-mile (169 km) road that runs the entire length of the National Park Service’s Shenandoah National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, generally along the ridge of the mountains. The scenic drive is particularly popular in the fall when the leaves are changing colors. Annually, over two million people visit Skyline Drive, which has been designated a National Scenic Byway.
The Wildlife Center of Virginia
Formed in 1982 to provide quality health care, often on an emergency basis, to native wildlife. Since 1982, the Wildlife Center has treated more than 50,000 wild animals, representing 200 species of native birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
