A visit to Virginia means different things to different people. It could mean a visual and interactive journey through history, an exhilarating hike along the Appalachian Trail, a scenic drive through the mountains, a cave exploration, a solemn stroll through a national cemetary, or even a bike ride while looking for wild ponies. So many choices! Maybe that’s why “Virginia is for Lovers”…because there’s something for everybody to love! The best part about it is that you can easily do it all. Because of the not-too-large size of Virginia, driving from historical sites or life sized dinosaur sculptures to wineries or epic camping is never more than a day’s drive away. Perfect for road trip adventures!

In this design, lush rolling hills and farmlands (with a classic Virginia split rail fence in the foreground) are just a sampling of what this beautiful and history-filled state has to offer.
