The Dayton Welcome Center provides a lovely introduction to the Historic Town of Dayton in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. Stop in and discover why Dayton is a great destination, whether for a short visit or a full day. Friendly staff will direct you to unique locally owned shops and restaurants downtown and at the Shops at Dayton Farmers Market.
Plan a picnic at nearby Cook's Creek Park. Pick up a free walking tour guide for a 30-minute stroll past Victorian homes featuring charming architecture, as well as commercial buildings that saw their heyday in the 1800s. Once a bustling, growing village, Dayton's history is told in a series of six interpretive signs placed throughout the town.
Our unique welcome center is also the entrance to The Heritage Museum, an outstanding regional museum that shares the story of the central Shenandoah Valley. As part of the Civil War Discovery Trail, Museum highlights include an electric map and gallery devoted to area Civil War history. More Dayton history can be found at Fort Harrison and Silver Lake Mill.
Don't forget to check out the local gifts and souvenirs, as well as interesting books in the Bookstore & Gift Shop!
