Blue Ridge Mountain Home Tour combines stunning properties and views with historical lore and helping others

Take a step back in history and enjoy peak fall foliage while visiting historic properties on the high ridge above the village of Bluemont, Va., in the first Blue Ridge Mountain Home Tour. The tour is the public's first opportunity to see six historic homes and properties built between 1776 and 1910 in the Bear's Den Rural District with stunning views of the Virginia Piedmont and Shenandoah River Valley. Proceeds from the tour will benefit the nonprofit organizations Boulder Crest Retreat for Wounded Warriors and Friend's of Bluemont's restoration of the Snickersville Academy (Bluemont's first schoolhouse, circa, 1825.)

This is a driving tour with guides stationed at all six locations. Ticket prices range from $20-$30. For more information and to purchase tickets, please go to www.bluemontva.org
