National Sporting Library & Museum
National Sporting Library & Museum brings together art, literature and material related to riding, racing, polo, hunting and other field sports. The institution provides context for the horse-country landscape around Middleburg.
It is a useful first stop even for visitors who do not ride. Check museum exhibitions and library access separately, allowing time for the parts of the collection that interest you.
Middleburg Historic District
Middleburg Historic District protects more than a hundred buildings around the town center. Facades, shops and streets work together as a setting for exploring on foot.
A self-guided walk can provide historical context without a formal tour. Use the town’s visitor information to choose the route, and distinguish publicly accessible places from buildings that remain in private use.
Salamander Adventures
Salamander Adventures offers a zipline course and other outdoor experiences at the Salamander property, which also provides equestrian programs. A booked activity gives visitors a way to participate in the landscape.
Check the activity’s current conditions, eligibility restrictions and reservation requirements directly. Availability and access should not be assumed simply because the resort is operating.
Boxwood Estate Winery
Boxwood Estate Winery grows traditional Bordeaux varieties on its estate and offers tastings. It connects a Middleburg visit with the surrounding Piedmont wine country.
The winery has operated an adults-only policy, so families should confirm the current conditions before visiting. Check tasting reservations and arrange transportation if wine is part of the outing.
Planning your visit
Begin with the museum and historic district, then choose an activity or winery visit that fits your interests. Check age rules, reservations and transport for each outing.
