If you could design your dream city, would it include treasured historic sites, great shopping, an excellent location, beautiful parks, a popular university, and cozy neighborhoods tucked among rolling green hills? If so, then Winchester is a dream-come-true. Winchester was settled around 1729, and the town was officially chartered in 1752. The city played a role in three major wars: the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. The Kernstown Battlefield, located on the Pritchard-Grim Farm, includes the 1854 Pritchard House. The Civil War battlefield park covers 350 acres and offers guided tours.
Old Town Winchester is a fantastic location to have as your backyard. This area features a brick-paved pedestrian mall lined with historic architecture, courtyards, and terrific shops and restaurants. It is the site of community events, including outdoor movies, the Haunted Pub Crawl, food and wine tours, a seasonal farmers market, Oktoberfest, and the Old Town Holiday Parade. The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival is held annually in Winchester, a huge event that attracts nearly 250,000 visitors a year and includes parades, a carnival, a wine festival, live music, and a 10K race.
The oldest house in Winchester, Abram's Delight, was built in 1754. This historic house museum is a state landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located near Shenandoah University, a private liberal arts university that was established in 1875. Hikers can access the Appalachian Trail from Winchester, and Jim Barnett Park features a disc golf course, a fitness trail, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a playground, the Winchester BMX, and ball fields. Shopping destinations include Winchester Station and the Apple Blossom Mall.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
