Unfortunately the weather was cold and windy the whole time. But low and behold rental golf carts. We zoomed around to each location and really had a great time. The staff were so informative and really cared about the history being displayed. I really recommend coming to visit as a family and learn more about the area and what things were like for our ancestors.

So glad that we an had opportunity to visit the beautiful and historic Spotts-Coffman house. I've…read morebeen in and around Staunton my entire life, and loved to be able to go into one of the old town houses. The guide goes over the history of the house and of Charlotte Spotts DeBaun Coffman, a local figure in the history of Staunton, who owned the home and lived there from 1901 to 1988. The Victorian era embellishments in the house are beautiful, with detailed ceilings, doors, floors, and stained glass. The furniture, decor, and odds and ends they've chosen make the house cozy and interesting. None of Charlotte's original furniture is in the house, but what's there now fits the style of her era, and most of it is based around the Victorian time frame. Don't forget to say hello to the duckling for me! You can tell that the owner and guide, Kevin, truly loves the house and is doing a wonderful job keeping a vital part of history alive. He treats Charlotte's memory with dignity and respect, and shows off the house with obvious pride. They also host special events like a Holiday Tea or a Murder Mystery night, which I'd love to attend some day. Tours are available on an appointment basis - if you plan on visiting the Woodrow Wilson House and Museum down the street, give them a call and see if a time slot is available. We paid $15 a person, which I never mind spending on something like this. If you'd like to visit Charlotte's grave, she and her family members (and both husbands!) are in the nearby beautiful and historic Thornrose Cemetery. Enter from Thornrose Ave and take a right; circle past the large mausoleum and the plots will be on your left. Look for the large "Spotts" stone - the markers are all right by the road.

What a cool vibe of a theatre space…read more My husband and I attended our first SLTE production (Snowbound) recently. Reclaiming a former commercial space, SLTE has turned it into a hip theatre space that includes a front bar and lounge area with the theater space in the back. The bar area is modern and chic and served some excellent holiday themed cocktails. The restrooms are modern and have a European feel. The stalls are all private rooms so there is no need for gendered labeling. The performance space is intimate and flexible which makes it exciting to think about seeing other shows there. The show we saw featured two excellent actors with professional experience in LA and NYC who now reside in Staunton. We will definitely be back to see more shows! One thing I would recommend considering. Many, myself included, have sensitivities to various scents. There were a number of candles burning throughout the lobby and bar. While they were beautiful and helped create ambience, they can also create headaches and migraines in some.

It's small inside, but jam-packed with a hundred unique musical novelties. Jewelry shaped like instruments, umbrellas with notes on them, bowties with piano keys, wine bottle holders made from actual piano keys, a small selection of vinyl records, books...one on how to tune a piano, CDs, etc... I can't remember it all, and it was quite overwhelming. I do know they didn't have a welcome mat, which is what I really wanted. I was told they'd hopefully have one by the holidays. So I'll be returning...also because it's where I travel for work. But if you're in Staunton, this shop is not to be missed. It's like a musical etsy conglomerate. Respect it.

They come to Staunton from all over the world and It is a great blessing to have them here to share their talent. While here, they are guided by the Institute's staff to better perform and to gain knowledge from complementing study.

It is a wonderful surprise that they are located in Staunton and not a large metropolitan area!

My partner and I are trying to visit all of the Presidential Museums/Libraries, and were here this…read moremorning. The Museum is a relatively small building on the street (with exhibits primarily on one floor), with Wilson's birthplace in a home a few doors down. Despite the small size, the exhibits did a decent job of highlighting some of the positives (League of Nations, less dependence on tariffs for government income, workmen's compensation, among others) and negatives (the guy was, shall we say, not supportive of integration when it came to African Americans). We spent about an hour in the Museum, including a few minutes in the WWI trench exhibit in the basement. All very interesting, well presented, and easy to understand. The highlight of our time was the docent-led tour of the Wilson home. Although Wilson lived in the home only for his first 18 months, the docent told a number of stories about Wilson's parents, Wilson's life there and later and it was a fascinating almost-hour time touring the building, asking questions and hearing the history.

I recommend taking the guided tour of Wilson's boyhood home and then visiting the museum. It's located in a residential neighborhood next to Mary Baldwin college. The staff was very friendly and they have a well stocked gift shop. Plenty of parking. I really enjoyed the WWI exhibit down stairs and the President's automobile. I did learn quite a bit about post WWI and the woman's suffrage movement. If you enjoy Presidential history this is a good museum.
