The Roanoker - March/April 2021 - 63

Small Towns, Big Backyard.
Visiting Lexington, Buena Vista
and Rockbridge County
They say you can't be all things to all people. Maybe that's so, but
in Rockbridge County, we pride ourselves on having something for
everyone. From shopping and antiquing on friendly Main Streets
to bucket-list wonders of nature-Lexington, Buena Vista, and the
surrounding communities are affordable, accessible, and memorable.
We have a history of hospitality. Before this was a country, Native
Americans took pilgrimages to our area. George Washington surveyed
Natural Bridge, and Thomas Jefferson owned and treasured it. But
even our history isn't a thing of the past. In Rockbridge County, you'll
find farms that carry on Cyrus McCormick's agricultural traditions,
with hands-on demonstrations and encounters that are as much
educational as they are enjoyable.
You can choose to explore the county by foot, bike, motorcycle,
car, or water. Hop on board a horse drawn carriage and enjoy life at
a slower pace. Discover a new hobby on The Gems of Rockbridge
Geocaching Trail. Find your way along miles of hiking and walking

s Agree....

paths, including the legendary Appalachian Trail. You can even enjoy
a drive-in movie or a drive-thru safari. Outdoor activities include
hiking, mountain biking, paddling, fishing, camping, and golf. It's
enough to work up quite an appetite, and we're ready to serve up
something guaranteed to please.
You'll find a vast array of locally owned restaurants serving dishes
to suit any taste, from hot dogs to haute cuisine. Indulge at a coffee
shop, or with a sweet treat from a master chocolatier or a refreshing
ice cream cone. If you have an inclination for a libation, enjoy craft
brews along the Beerwerks Trail, vineyards, our renowned cidery, or
a signature cocktail.
At the end of the day, there's no place like Rockbridge County.
Whether it's a romantic getaway or a weekend with the kids (and even
the dog), we have just the place. From homey bed and breakfasts
to the nationally recognized historic hotel The Georges, you'll find
overnight accommodations that meet your budget, needs, and sense
of style.
If you're ready for an adventure, we're ready for your family.
Experience the communities of Rockbridge County-where big
memories come in small-town packages.
