Our agenda of events is always changing but here are some upcoming event highlights:
Free Saturday Guided Walking Tours
Every Saturday from May through October, 10am, and its always FREE!
For over 25 years, Historic Staunton Foundation has offered free
walking tours of Staunton's nationally renowned historic
architecture. We walk downtown and
through the bordering historic neighborhoods.
As noted by Southern Living:
"Just Stroll down one of
Staunton's quaint streets, and you're bound to see it all - Federal,
Italianate, Greek Revival, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival - and the
list goes on."
Learn about Staunton's history from our founding in 1732 by
Scots-Irish settler John Lewis to our thriving Victorian town.
Tours last approximately 2 hours. All six of Staunton's Historic
Districts will be discussed by your volunteer tour guide.
No reservations needed. Come as you are, but we suggest comfortable
walking shoes!
Best of all, our tours are always free and casual!
