Long weekend? Here's what's happening in Bath County, Friday through Sunday.

FRIDAY
Take the Fall Foliage History Walk at Douthat State Park, 3 to 4 p.m., starting at the Camp Malone Picnic Shelter.

The BEAR Country Store runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at The BEAR in Hot Springs, with local vendors and crafts. From 3 to 4, stay for the Bath County Arts Association's artist reception for "A Second Look," featuring select pieces from the 2026 Bath County Art Show and a section honoring Perlista Henry. The reception is free, and registration is required at bathcountyarts.org.

SUNDAY
Preservation Bath holds its annual lecture and awards at 4 p.m. in the Holstein Barn at the Old Dairy in Warm Springs.

It's free and open to the public, with a reception after.

It's apple season at Oakley Farm in Warm Springs.

Orchards have been part of this farm for well over a century. Today Troddenvale presses Virginia apples, including fruit from Oakley's own trees, and pours its c***r in the farm's North Stable.

On Fridays from 4 to 8 p.m., Foodlore brings a guest chef and live music to the lawn, and local growers set up a small market. Three to plan around: October 9, 16 and 23.

The c***r bar is open Thursday through Sunday. Stop in for a glass or a flight while you're in Warm Springs.

The evening show out here starts around 8:30.

We pull up a chair, the sun slides behind the Alleghenies, and the ridgelines go gold, then violet, then quiet.

We've watched it a thousand times β€” it hasn't gotten old yet.

An evening at goes like this: world-class chamber music in an intimate mountainside hall, a chef-prepared dinner shared with fellow listeners, and Allegheny stars waiting when the music lets out.

Make it a full getaway: the Manor House and Giles Cottage sleep guests right on the 114-acre property, steps from the hall.

This weekend it's the Grammy-winning Pacifica Quartet (July 24–25), and the concert calendar runs all summer long. Reserve at garthnewel.org. Evenings like these sell out, and for good reason.

Every booth at Goldie's is its own little world. Candles and creams on one shelf, tooled leather on the next, a gallery wall of portraits and prints that have already lived a few lives. That's the charm of a store stocked by collectors and makers, it never reads the same way twice.

Goldie's General Store and Vintage Shopping, in the village of Mitchelltown. When you go, tell us what you found. πŸ‘€

Refreshment is a local craft in Bath County.
β€” Bacova B**r Company : A family-run taproom brewing truth, not trends, with pub food to match.

β€” At Oakley Farm : Transparency-driven c***rs grown in the high-elevation orchards at Oakley Farm.

β€” Waterwheel Restaurant At Gristmill Square: a nightcap at one of Virginia's smallest bars, tucked inside a restored gristmill with an award-winning w**e cellar.

Three stops, one very good evening.

Before there was a nation, there were these waters.
Travelers have been "taking the waters" at the Warm Springs Pools since the 1760s β€” Thomas Jefferson among them, who came seeking relief for his rheumatism and left a believer.

Today, the historic bathhouses still fill with the same warm, mineral-rich water, rising clear from the mountain.

Here's to the next 250 years.

Lake days move slower out here.
Lake Moomaw sits behind 43 miles of undeveloped shoreline in the George Washington National Forest. No boardwalk crowds, no traffic, no rush. Just mountain water, citation-size trout, and an afternoon that asks nothing of you.
Pack a cooler.

America turns 250 this year β€” and for the past 260 years, The Omni Homestead has been welcoming guests to these same Allegheny mountains. From a small Virginia town that's seen every Fourth since 1766: Happy Independence Day. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
