Waynesboro, Independent city in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, US.
The city stands at the crossroads of Shenandoah National Park's Skyline Drive, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Appalachian Trail at 392 meters elevation.
Originally named Teasville in the mid-18th century, the area was renamed Waynesborough after General Anthony Wayne's victory at Fallen Timbers in 1794.
The Wayne Theatre presents performances throughout the year while the Virginia Street Arts Festival adds numerous murals across the downtown district.
The South River flows through the center, offering multiple access points for trout fishing, paddling activities, and riverside walking paths.
The Blue Ridge Tunnel, constructed in the 1850s as the longest railroad tunnel in the United States, now functions as a recreational trail.
