Main Street of Yesteryear gave the two RV Gypsies the opportunity to wind their way down a special Main Street (at their own pace) and they viewed windows filled with fully restored antique displays that Americans enjoyed at prominent department stores during much of the 20th Century.

Admission was included when they purchased tickets to Shenandoah Caverns. It is open all year and is located two minutes from I-81, Exit 269, five miles north of New Market, Virginia.
