The
Buckhorn Inn is at the gateway to beautiful Bath and Highland Counties.
The surrounding area boasts fresh cool mountain air, hot springs, mineral
baths, historical sites and exhibits, and cultural events. The Buckhorn is
in the George Washington National Forest where outdoor activities such as
hiking, biking, hunting, fishing and bird watching abound.
The
Buckhorn is only a fifteen minute drive from Staunton Virginia. In the
center of Augusta County, Staunton is replete with many beautiful historic
buildings and resources. Five areas in town have been designated as
National Historic Districts, Gospel Hill, Stuart Addition, Newtown,
Beverly and The Wharf. President Woodrow Wilson’s first home is one of the
few presidential birthplaces open to the public. The house, a National
Historic Landmark, is furnished and the garden has been restored in
authentic pre-Civil War style. The Frontier Culture Museum hosts events,
programs and exhibits which are entertaining and educational. Staunton is
also home to the world's only re-creation of William Shakespeare’s
original indoor theatre, Blackfriars Playhouse. In addition to theatrical
performances, the Shenandoah Shakespeare organization offers educational
programs, conferences, lectures, and a summer theatre camp for teens.
