Historical Four State



There are many locations of historical significance in the four state region some of which are more obscure than others. In Winchester, Virginia alone, it boasts the original site of Fort Loudon, George Washington's Headquarters (pictured above), Stonewall Jackson's Headquarters, and Abram's Delight to just name a few. Not to mention, the city of Winchester changed hands 72 times during the Civil War.

Other locations in the area include Harper's Ferry (self explanatory), the original cabin (albeit reconstructed) of the first settler of the area Morgan Morgan, Belle Boyd's house, the location of the battle of Antietam in Sharpsburg, Maryland, the grave of Lincoln body guard Ward Lamon, etc.

Snow White Grill


The Snow White Grill is located in Old Town Winchester, VA in the outdoor mall. Here you can find delicious "belly bombers" or mini burgers. Very good and reasonably priced. This placed open in 1949 and was one of many locations in the area. Is now the only location remaining. It is especially nice to stop in for lunch while seeing some of the historical sites around Winchester (Fort Loudon, Washington's Headquarters, Stonewall Jackson's Headquarters, Civil War Museum, Abram's Delight, etc.
