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 The Dayton 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 number of interpretive signs placed throughout the town.

Our unique welcome center is also the entrance to Rocktown History, an outstanding regional museum and genealogy research library for Harrisonburg-Rockingham history. Historic site neighbors Rocktown History, Silver Lake Mill, and Fort Harrison form the Dayton Historic Triangle.

Save time to check out the local gifts and souvenirs, as well as interesting books in the Bookstore & Gift Shop!
