Escape to Harrisonburg and Rockingham County where Old Order Mennonites in horse-drawn buggies blend with downhill mountain biking or skiing competitions at Massanutten’s Four Season Resort. Antique lovers look to the area as a precious resource for primitive 18th and 19th century antiques. Small towns in the area provide an abundance of specialty shops and country restaurants amid lovely pastoral views. Arts and entertainment are becoming increasingly abundant with the new Court Square Theatre within the Cultural & Arts District forming downtown.
