Winchester: Shenandoah Valley Crossroads and Apple Country
Winchester is an independent city at the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley, about 75 miles west of Washington, D.C. The city changed hands more than seventy times during the Civil War, more than any other community in the country, because of its strategic position as a road and rail junction. Stonewall Jackson used Winchester as his headquarters during the 1862 Valley Campaign, and his headquarters building is preserved as a museum at 415 North Braddock Street.
Patsy Cline, the country music singer, was born in Winchester in 1932 and is buried here. The Patsy Cline Historic House on South Kent Street, where she lived from 1948 to 1953, operates as a museum. The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley on the Glen Burnie estate holds collections ranging from decorative arts to regional history.
Winchester sits at the center of Virginia's apple-growing region. The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival, held each spring since 1924, draws substantial regional crowds and includes a parade, coronation, and events spread across multiple days. Shenandoah University, a private institution founded in 1875, and Lord Fairfax Community College operate in the city.
