Twelfth Night Inn BnB in Staunton, Virginia

Twelfth Night Inn BnB in Staunton

Juliette grew up in a country hotel in Bath, England, and John is from Killingworth, Connecticut. They met on an Oceanic Society cruise in San Francisco Bay when Juliette was writing a Professional Singles Magazine and John was a "suit" in the Financial District! They just celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary this year. After 34 years in the USA Juliette has now become an American citizen. This is their fourth Bed & Breakfast; the first one was in Port Townsend, Washington, the second in Petersburg, Virginia, and the third in Camden, South Carolina. The suites are set to the Shakespearian theme from his plays. Come and guess which kind of homemade jam Juliette is serving for breakfast, or just come to relax in their beautiful landscaped garden in the swinging bench. Staunton is a jewel of a town which you can enjoy wandering around, nestled in the Shenandoah, 15 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway: truly a world away from the rush and stress of big cities! While there visit the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace and Museum. One of the few original Presidential birthplaces open to the public, Woodrow Wilson's first home offers an authentic picture of family life in the pre-Civil War Shenandoah Valley. See his wonderful old car and many other mementoes of his presidency, just one block from the inn. On the edge of town is The Frontier Culture Museum, a unique museum which offers 17th, 18th and 19th century European and American history, featuring appropriate furnishings, crops, animals, foods, and a knowledgeable staff of costumed interpreters that help create a living illustration of life in Europe before immigration to America and the culture they built on one of America's first frontiers. Also visit its interesting old farmhouses brought over from England, Ireland and Germany showing life on the farm in the 1600 and 1700's, as well as an American farm, circa 1850. In the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Staunton - the Queen City on the Great Wagon Road between the Blue Ridge and the Alleghenies - offers old fashioned Americana at its best. Guided or self-guided walking tours through five National Historic Districts will transport you through Staunton's rich 250-year heritage.  Don’t miss the new Shakespeare theatre - Blackfriars.
