Review & FAQ:
Located in beautiful Harrisonburg, VA., The Valley Turnpike Museum is dedicated to researching, preserving, and educating the public about the history of the colonization of the Shenandoah Valley in the early 1800s and the years going forward. The locals call this era the Turnpike Era, because a company named The Valley Turnpike Company built the road that goes from Staunton to Winchester, winding through the mountainous Shenandoah Valley. This road was the first major infrastructure that was built that helped the colonization of the area. There are many exhibits that display artifacts representing their era, from the days of the civil war to more modern eras.
