This charming little place in Orange County, Virginia, is named after its first postmaster, Nathaniel Gordon and in 2013, celebrated its 200th anniversary as a town called Gordonsville. The quaint southern town played an important role during the Civil War just by being on the Virginia Central Railroad. Situated 18 miles (28 km) of Northeast Charlottesville, 41 miles (65 km) of West Fredericksburg, and 54 miles (86 km) of Northwest Richmond, it’s right between the birthplace of the Constitution in Montpelier and the Declaration of Independence in Monticello. Recorded in the National Register of Historic Places are the town landmarks such as the Exchange Hotel and Gordonsville Historic District. The town’s world-famous restaurants, galleries, shops, and the popular Civil War Museum are crowd drawers. Tourists will find some awesome Vrbo vacation rentals here, but if you want a unique experience, book a yurt in the region. Check out the best yurts in and near Gordonsville, Virginia, below.
