Moments spent backcountry hiking, mountain biking, paddling or riding a zip line in a variety of settings at Front Royal is time well spent. The Historic Downtown area provides a plethora of art galleries, restaurants and unique shopping. Museums hold excellent collections of relics and records of the Civil War, and offers souvenir gift items that reflect this period.
