Natural chimney park

Virginia is home to the natural chimney park. Found near Mt. Solon in rural Augusta County. Waynesboro is a 31-minute drive away. It has a one-of-a-kind rock formation that serves as a stunning backdrop for seasonal outdoor concerts and annual jousting tournaments, which have been held since 1821. The natural formations started with the development of limestone underlying an inland sea, progressed through a period of massive tectonic upheaval caused by the Appalachian Mountains and were eventually moulded by eternal erosion.

Zynodoa

This restaurant serves excellent southern cuisine in a renovated structure in downtown Staunton. The restaurant’s produce and livestock are primarily sourced from the Shenandoah Valley and Piedmont regions. There is food available before and after the show. Zynodoa is glad to aid small-scale farmers and producers in Virginia.
