This city is a special mixed bag of small-town atmosphere and vibrant dining and recreational options. A lot of the establishments in Harrisonburg's Culinary District feature both farm-fresh ingredients and international flavors. The museums in the city, on the other hand, showcase exhibits on topics ranging from the American Civil War to minerals. Once you get tired of the asphalt and concrete of downtown, nearby Shenandoah Valley offers hiking, biking, and camping options.
