Review:
Located in the Piedmont region less than 20 miles away from Charlottesville, Gordonsville is a quaint Southern town full of charming boutique shops and surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery.
It's home to a notable Civil War museum, which is housed inside the majestic Exchange Hotel, a historic building that served as a hospital for more than 70,000 soldiers during the Civil War.
However that's not the town's only impressive achievement; in the 19th century, it achieved fame as “The Fried Chicken Capital of the World”, an honor that's celebrated with an annual fried chicken cook-off and festival.
