We came a long way to a week-long event and we stayed in Harrisonburg both on the way and on the way back (halfway). I had found the store through Yelp and was eager to visit. We missed the business hours the first trip and got there at 4:50 on the way back. The clerk was so kind to stay open nearly an hour longer so the five of us could shop and see the art and studios. (All of us are artists). She was more than gracious! I'm in a power wheelchair which got caught on the rug at the check out and she was completely unfazed and kind about me thrashing about, causing her to move many things. The prices were a bit steep on many things but that didn't stop me from buying a lot of goodies I've searched for a long time. I left very happy, and so did my companions! We will all gladly go again next year if not before!

Truly a blessing to the culture of Harrisonburg. I'm eternally grateful for everything Scott and…read moreVal have done with this space and Harrisonburg's collective imagination. Art supplies, art galleries and artist studios. It's beautiful...

This is one of the two universities you need to tour if you're in the Lexington area. (The other…read moreone is VMI, and it's right next door.) Washington and Lee University is a historic campus, and it's worth a visit if you're into southern history. Washington and Lee was founded in 1749 and named after George Washington and Robert E. Lee. At this liberal arts school, you'll want to check out the University Chapel & Museum, where you'll see the 500 seat chapel, the Lee family mausoleum, and Lee's office when he was president of the university from 1865 to 1870. Also check out the Reeves Museum of Ceramics, which houses the 4th largest collection of ceramics in the U.S. I love walking around university campuses when I'm in a new area, and I'm glad I explored this one.

Washington and Lee University is beautiful. It's a small, extremely exclusive, private university…read morenestled lovingly into the old town of Lexington. It's original buildings were designated National Historical Landmarks in the 1930s and Lee Chapel is the resting place of Robert E. Lee who is entombed within. This university is immaculately kept, with expansion of any kind thoughtfully completed in order to seamlessly blend in with the historical feel. I spent a summer here at a program during high school 20 years ago and absolutely loved it. It's small and cozy and home-y and the small town of Lexington has plenty of shops and restaurants within a 5 minute walk of the school. Visiting this summer I easily found my way around like old times, after 20 years not much has changed. It's still beautiful, I saw a few updates, but essentially felt like I had stepped back in time.

All instructors have been knowledgable and patient, regardless of your level of skill. The classes are relaxing, fun and have increased my observation skills.

He's a Physician's Assistant and attended the U of L entirely online for the last year, finally graduating. The campus is beautiful with lots of open space, several modern buildings and a lovely student center. The campus bookstore is a little small but still had the tshirts and decals needed to show that he attended the school. Graduation was on the huge Shallenburger Field with proper social distancing enforced and plenty of space between parties. A little warm in the Sun so they had EMS available in case someone had a medical issue plus tents with cold water and plenty of shade. They did a great job of ensuring one-way traffic. We found a couple of great spots for photos and he's thinking that attending in person instead of online would have been awesome. [Review 15070 overall, 572 of 2021, number 1288 in Virginia.]

Our room did not have a refrigerator, but upon request we were able to get one brought to the room. The showers were clean and great water pressure.
