With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Harrisonburg, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights beginning with Harrisonburg Farmers Market, A Dream Come True Playground and Explore More Discovery Museum. Don’t skip New Market either! Just 30 miles away, Shenandoah Caverns, New Market Battlefield and Meems Bottom Covered Bridge are must-sees here.
