• Rich HISTORY, including Pocohantas, Jamestown, Washington, Jefferson, and more Civil War battles than any other state in the Union
• LODGING options for every budget, from enticing B&Bs and world-class golf resorts to backcountry camping and a Trappist monastery
• The best of Virginia DINING: Chesapeake crab houses, Richmond rib joints and horse-country wineries
• Plenty of FUN, including seasonal festivals and outdoor activites from surfing and trout fishing to mountain biking and hiking the Appalachian trail
