Steeped in history, Harrisonburg’s self-driving tour along Route 11 features the Town of Mount Crawford, and the surrounding lush farmland and magnificent mountains of southwestern Rockingham County in the Shenandoah Valley. This predominately north-south route, used by Native Americans for thousands of years before being called the Great Wagon Road, was vital to westward expansion and played a major role in the Civil War. During Mount Crawford’s bicentennial, visitors will appreciate its small-town charm while touring historic homes on the North River. Tour ticket includes access to a beautiful perennial garden, a mid-1800s farmhouse, a well-appointed contemporary farmhouse, and other nearby points of interest.
