Renfrew Museum and Park

Renfrew became a public museum and park in 1975 through the generosity of its last private owner, Emma Geiser Nicodemus, and her sister, Hazel Geiser. In her will Emma Nicodemus specified that her house and the surrounding 107-acres, willed to the Borough of Waynesboro, be made into a museum and parkland. Mrs. Nicodemus wanted the facility to be called Renfrew in remembrance of two young sisters by that name. According to local legend, the girls met their demise in 1764 on what is now Park property. More than a quarter of a century after its creation, Renfrew has grown by leaps and bounds. Research and restoration have expanded the scope of the site to include a Visitors Center in the Victorian period barn, several restored outbuildings which include the smokehouse, milkhouse, and the Fahnestock farmstead with its barn and house. We have designated all the important Royer farmstead sites with bronze markers set in field stone.

Visited the museum with my nephew for some historical education and was very pleased with the personally guided tour by staff. My nephew asked great questions regarding the grounds, reason for the separate houses, and development in which he was given great answers by staff.

Zoe's chocolates are fabulous! They're so creative and are always coming up with something new and delicious. I love that they're family owned and I love the family who owns Zoe's - you can tell that they put their heart and soul into everything they do. It's amazing that we have something so upscale in our little community.

Despina Leos Candy Kitchen

Reviewed By KimScoop13

I was gifted a box of chocolates from this candy shop and honestly? It's the best candy I've ever eaten (and I eat a LOT of candy). The milk chocolates are delicious, the dark chocolates are OUT of this WORLD. I was given an assortment, chosen by the clerk. And unlike many other candies, there wasn't one bad choice in the box. If you're in the area, I highly recommend a visit. Try not to eat every piece you buy in that first day!

Monterey Pass Battlefield Museum

Reviewed By markbR7779KE

Wow! What a great place to visit! ANV on its way from Gettysburg to Williamsport to cross over the Potomac River back into VA. He has to go through the mountain pass and the Union AoP knows it, so the head to literally ‘head them off at the pass’. Battle ensues. Great walking trails including up to Monterey Peak. The museum is fantastic. Right on Rt 16.
