Mid-Atlantic Destinations Span Mountain Towns, Maryland Tech Hub
Several small-town destinations in Virginia and West Virginia offer visitors a mix of mountain scenery, historic character and local attractions. Monterey, in Virginia’s sparsely populated Highland County, is presented as a peaceful base for taking in the Allegheny Mountains and an intact historic main street. In Wardensville, West Virginia, local entrepreneurs have helped revive the downtown with businesses including a bookstore, glassblowing studio and arts-focused trading post. Middleburg, Virginia, offers a fall day trip centered on boutiques, equestrian heritage, local dining and a brewery on a horse farm. Montgomery County, Virginia, pairs Blacksburg’s college-town energy with Christiansburg’s historic small-town feel, along with wineries, outdoor recreation and arts and dining options.
