our nation. Winchester was the first Englishspeaking town west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Frederick County was the military and political training ground for George Washington.
In Winchester, visitors can walk the same streets that George Washington, Patsy Cline, and Stonewall Jackson once walked. See impressive monuments of polar explorer Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, General Daniel Morgan of Revolutionary War fame, and George Washington, the father of our country. View the
amazing architecture of buildings that witnessed some of our nation’s greatest events and leaders. Six major battles took place in Winchester and Frederick County during the Civil War, and the town changed hands approximately 72 timesmore than any other town in the country!
A Civil War Orientation Center is located in the Winchester-Frederick County Visitor Center. A brief film will introduce you to Civil War sites within the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation National Historic District. 38 Civil War Trail signs, posted throughout the community, interpret troop movements and battles of that stirring time.

FREDERICK COUNTY
Millions of Americans can trace their heritage to Frederick County, Virginia! During the 1730s, it was the destination of early settlers –newly arrived English, Scots, Irish, and German immigrants who came from Pennsylvania in search of inexpensive, fertile farmland.
Today, Frederick County offers a wealth of opportunities for genealogists and historians. The Frederick County Clerk’s records were never lost or burned; they cover 1743 to the present.
Frederick County has Civil War battlefields,
beautiful public parks, Winchester Speedway, Winchester Regional Airport, and Rock Harbor Golf Course.
Family owned farm markets, featuring locally grown fruits, vegetables and meats, are plentiful. Frederick County’s stately antebellum courthouse with its huge white pillars served as a hospital and prison during the Civil War, and is now home to the Shenandoah Valley Civil War Museum. The statue of a Confederate soldier, standing guard outside is the most photographed point-of-interest in the area. fcva.us
