About Waynesboro

Waynesboro is an independent city in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, tucked near the Blue Ridge Mountains. Its location gives it unusually good outdoor context: the west portal of the historic Blue Ridge Tunnel is nearby, and the city sits close to both mountain routes and valley communities. Waynesboro has also drawn film productions, including scenes from Toy Soldiers and Evan Almighty. The result is a practical valley city with a strong mountain-edge setting.
