Welcome to Virginia
Tourist Guide
Virginia is located midway between New York and Florida. It
is the gateway to the South and sometimes classified in the
Mid-Atlantic region. The Commonwealth is bordered by Washington,
D.C., the nation's capital, and Maryland to the north, the
Atlantic Ocean to the east, North Carolina and Tennessee to
the south and West Virginia and Kentucky to the west.
Geographically,Western Virginia is mountainous, covered by
the Allegheny and Blue Ridge mountains with the great Shenandoah
Valley falling between the ranges. The central piedmont region,
with its rolling hills, flattens out into the sandy coastal
plain toward the Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful Virginia has the
Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountain ranges to the west, the
Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay to the east, and the green
rolling hills of the Piedmont in between. Wherever you go,
dont forget to bring your camera for some of the most spectacular
seasonal backdrops in your vacation photos.
West Virginia State has a great fascinating history . The
caretakers of West Virginia''s rich history bring the past
to life for visitors through Civil war re-enactments, historic
dramas and theater productions, the preservation of historic
sites, and the careful retelling of events that have affected
the state and the nation. It is the home for some of the nation's
finest crafters and Appalachia''s best storytellers.
