warm mineral waters frequented byNative Americans long before Euro-peans arrived in the New World, are atthe heart of a mountain spa communityin West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle.First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson’sfather, the waters for many centurieshave drawn visitors seeking health andrelief from the stress of everyday life.

In 1776, George Washington's family and friends drew up a plat of134 lots, named the streets, and in-corporated The Town of Bath, in-voking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of thesprings prevailed, and the town andsurrounding area are known by theirname – Berkeley Springs.

The waters flow at a constant 74°Ffrom the base of Warm SpringsRidge. You may still drink freely andfill your jugs at Lord Fairfax’s publictap, and wade in the ancient stonepools in the nation's smallest statepark. The town has endured cyclesof notoriety, fashion, war and mod-ern progress, but remains the Coun-try's First Spa, a quiet, friendlyhaven surrounded by West Virginia’ssplendid outdoors. ß

Flanked by theBlue Ridge to

the east and Mas-sanutten Moun-tain to the west,Front Royal’sfounders strategi-cally situatedtheir community

at the forks of the Shenandoah River.Recognized as the Gateway to Shenan-doah National Park and the Canoe Cap-ital of Virginia, Front Royal provides anideal base for exploring the region’sunique outdoor adventures, culturalheritage, and historic past.

Once “le front royal” or the “RoyalFrontier” between French and Britishterritories, local legend favors a morecolorful origin for the town’s unusualname. According to this version, a giantoak tree, the “Royal” tree of Englandonce stood in the public square. Visitorsfrom the military will appreciate thefrustrations of the drill sergeant as heattempted to train his unseasoned re-cruits for the local militia. At last, thor-oughly exasperated by the inability ofhis troops to follow even the simplestcommand, he bellowed, “Front theRoyal Oak!” Recitations of this storyultimately led to the variation, FrontRoyal, and the name stuck.

Where the Royal Oak once reignednow stands a charming gazebo on thetown square, within view of the FrontRoyal Visitor Center. Make this one ofyour first stops in town, followed by astroll down Main Street, a slice of small-town Americana lined with antiquestores, galleries, and gift shops. Don’tmiss the schedule of special events.

Located a stone’s throw from our na-tion’s capital but miles from the hustleand bustle come to Front Royal, a townwhere you can settle in and be a local.
