Another great day spent paint balling. My son and I went as walk-ons again and had a lot of fun. The other players were nice and the staff is wonderful. The refs are fair to all players and they explain things well. We’ve been several times and make new friends each time we go.

This place is huge and everything is beautifully displayed. Most of the prices are reasonable and we bought a few "treasures" that we didn't know we "needed"! The hunt for interesting things is a lot of fun in this place. There are several clean restrooms inside.

The Strasburg Museum, which opened to the public in 1970 as a National Historic Landmark, celebrates over 250 years of life in a small town in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Located at 440 East King Street, the museum traces the rich heritage of settlers who resided in this area since the 1700s and also accounts for earlier Native American cultures. The museum building has a rich history, too. It was constructed in 1891 for use as a steam pottery and served in that capacity until 1909 when the last local pottery was closed. In 1913, the Southern Railway Company purchased the building for use as a passenger and freight depot. It served those functions until vacated in the 1960s. Then a group of Strasburg citizens, eager to preserve the rich historic and cultural heritage of the area, acquired the old depot and opened the museum in 1970. Open seven days a week with all volunteer docents from the first day of May through the end of October, the museum recounts the history of Strasburg and the Shenandoah Valley dating to the early 1700s and features exhibits on Native American artifacts, pottery, historic local photographs, Civil War memorabilia, Colonial and Victorian style rooms, an old country store display, antique clothes, a whiskey still, a telegrapher's key, a railway baggage car, blacksmith and copper collections, a working model railroad depicting Strasburg and the Southern Railway in the 1930s, a genuine red caboose, a family Bible that belonged to an ancestor of George Washington and a replica of a railroad engine that Colonel Thomas J. Jackson (later better known as Stonewall) confiscated during the Great Train Raid in 1861 in Strasburg. Another interesting exhibit in what has been described as "the best little museum in Virginia," is a picture of the Strasburg Massanutten Hose Company, which won the Virginia and World Reel Racing Team Championship competition in 1908. The original reel is on display in the museum with the names of the team members. For a $5 donation, it covers a lot of history.

From the minute you ascend the mountain you see why the owners decided to establish a winery here!!! WHAT A VISION!!!!
