If you know me you know I will find a local library while roaming the streets of a new place. It…read morecould be the public library, a college campus, or some obscure historical collection but my internal compass will find books on shelves (also quality coffee, pastries, and unique hideaways). So as I spent a beautiful morning canvassing block after block of Harrisonburg I soon discovered that in the heart of downtown resides this library. Now the immediate feature you'll notice outside is the brick-built amphitheater. Just enough space for individuals to sit while watching a poet, small play, or traveling musician. But once you step inside you see this place is kept up to date. Modern decor and signs of technology are everywhere. Also there is a community board with events, gatherings, and such as well as local publications. Take a moment to stay informed. The library has the usual amenities; computers with Internet access, restrooms, a designated children's area, and of course books. You will find it more open and quieter on the second floor, if that is a desire. I will also highlight the helpful staff who are answering my out-of-town questions every time I come (now up to four). And on ground level, there is a used book space in case you want/need more tomes for your collection. These range from novels to table sized to children centric to copies of National Geographic. All at a great price. So here, and wherever you may be, use the local resource that is your library. Every community needs them!

Make sure to check the hours online before heading there as the service window is closed in the middle portion of the day. Remember it is a very small post office and that is the charm of it. I just made sure to be there during open hours, use the golden rule and it's all been great.

My package was supposed to be delivered, and it was out on their car in the morning marked "out for delivery", never got here which is fine. But then they marked it held at post office per customer request, I never requested anything, and they didn't leave a slip either. Which means they never even made it to my mail box, just decided if they couldn't do their job, they'll just blame it on me and I have to pick it up myself.

Crawford was first settled in the 1720's, but became incorporated in 1835. There's a lovely historical landmark estate here called the Grattan House also known as Contentment. It's not far from Harrisonburg and is a tiny town with few businesses. The flags out front always alert me to these diminutive post offices in small "hamlets" which catch my attention and I have to stop to check them out! A bulletin board boasted various community events and they put up a bit of fall decor to brighten the place up. Inside was tidy and the clerk, Crystal , at the front desk was pleasant. Hours: 9-12, 1-4 M-F, 10-12 Sat

They have a walking tour where the historical buildings are identified by a brass plaque . Most are private residences. They ask that you please respect the privacy of the home owner . The street is also lined with antique shops , food and dining , and arts and entertainment . Also a store owner said that possibly a tea room may be opening up . That would be Tea-Riffic . It was pretty quiet as we were visiting in February. I'm sure this place is hoping in the Spring - Fall. If your in the Shenandoah River area don't miss taking a stroll down this Historical street . Take a step back in time and imagine all the people who have walked down this very street. Imagine how life has changed over the years with renovations and new structures. It's a great place to slow your pace and take a wonder walk.
