A visit to this museum is a must in any trip to the Shenandoah Valley! First opened in the spring of 2005, the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (MSV) tells the story of the great region for which it is named. Designed by Michael Graves, the MSV anchors a regional history museum complex that also includes six acres of spectacular gardens, and the Glen Burnie house. There is something for everyone here: European, American, and Shenandoah Valley furniture, decorative arts, and paintings; an amazing collection of furnished miniature houses and rooms; state-of-the-art audio and video presentations; hands-on activities for children; a Museum Café serving lunch and desserts; and a Museum Store. The museum is open year-round and the gardens are open April through November. Both are open Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. The historic house is currently closed through 2014 for preservation. Experience the Valley at the MSV!
