Middleburg, Virginia, USA

This town was founded in 1764. It is a nice place to stop if you are driving Route 7. There are several nice shops in the historic district, which is only about 3 blocks of 21st Street. There is a shop or two on Main Street, a few blocks away. You will also enjoy the Purcellville Marketplace on Main Street, a large store with an old-timey country feel that is full of antique cabinetry and unusual collectibles.
