Historical Significance
As an early settler, Abraham Hollingsworth traveled the Great Road when it was still an Indian path. He constructed one of the first grist mills in the Valley and his home served as the area's first Quaker meeting house. Constructed of stone in 1754, Abram's Delight is the oldest home in Winchester. A log cabin on the west lawn dates to 1780, and was reconstructed on the site.
Abram’s Delight Museum Today
As an early settler, Abraham Hollingsworth traveled the Wilderness Trail when it was still an Indian path. He built one of the first grist mills in the Valley and the Hollingsworth home served as the area's first Quaker meeting house. Constructed of stone in 1754, the home is the oldest in Winchester. It showcases a wonderful example of early settlement life in the lower Shenandoah Valley. Furnishings include a fine collection of period art and antiques. A restored and furnished log cabin, a symbol of earliest America, completes this historic site. Call for hours of operation.
