High Meadows

High Meadows is a historic property located in Madison County within the Blue Ridge Mountain region. The buildings and grounds sit amid forest and mountainous terrain that characterize the Shenandoah area.

The property gained recognition as a Virginia Historic Landmark in 1982 and was later listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These designations mark its importance to the architectural record of the region.

The site shows evidence of how people lived and worked in this mountain region over time. Walking through the grounds, you can sense the layers of human activity that have shaped this place across generations.

This location sits in an area with trails and natural landscapes open year-round for exploration. Comfortable walking shoes and layered clothing are helpful when visiting, as mountain weather can change throughout the day.

The grounds contain archaeological traces of Native American settlement predating European arrival in the region. These layers of the past offer insight into how communities adapted to life in the Blue Ridge landscape long before recorded history.
