I arrived in Staunton, Virginia at the Stonewall Jackson Historic Inn about 4:00 pm.
AGAIN ~ for just a little over $100.00 per night ~ I found myself in a stunning hotel!!!Beautiful Christmas music from the piano on the balcony greeted me as I checked in.
Staunton is filled with the same history and eye popping architecture as Lexington , Va but on a much grander scale.
This is the train stop for the Amtrak Train. It was located down the hill from my room ~ I watched at night as the train rolled in and I could see the passengers in their private train cars gazing out the window as they waited to take off again. I wondered where they were headed and if it was a happy trip for them.
Oh BOY! A beautiful quilt shop ! I was in my glory but just bought a spool of pearl cotton.
Don't you just LOVE cobblestone streets!
So just imagine how GIDDY I was when I ventured out on foot shortly after I arrived in town for a nice Italian Dinner and ran into THIS crazy quilt display across the street from my hotel ~ at the Staunton Historical Society.
This crazy quilt was from the late 1800's.
This is the beautifully restored floor of the Staunton Historical Society's building.
As I left town the next morning ~ I spotted this sign explaining that this main road in Staunton was part of the most heavily traveled in Colonial America ~ linking the Great Lakes to Augusta, Ga.
