Browse our delightful array of quaint shops, inns, and historical sights in our village. There are approximately 700 people currently residing in the town of Middleburg. Established in 1787 by Revolutionary War Lieutenant Colonel and Virginia statesman, Levin Powell. Powell purchased the land for Middleburg at $2.50 an acre from Joseph Chinn, first cousin to George Washington. Previously called "Chinn's Crossroads," Powell chose the name Middleburg because of the town's location midway between Alexandria and Wi******er on the Ashby Gap trading route (now Route 50).

MIDDLEBURG LIFTS MANDATORY WATER CONSERVATION, STEPS DOWN TO VOLUNTARY

The Middleburg Town Council has lifted mandatory water conservation measures effective Sunday, November 1, 2026.

Prior conservation measures partially or completely prohibited the use of Town water outside a structure. The Town Council removed mandatory water conservation measures based on data from the Town’s monitoring of its production wells indicating increased stability, improvement in the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality’s drought designation of the Northern Virginia region from Warning status to Watch status in recent weeks, and the natural decrease in consumption as we move into cooler weather. The Town Council also took into account the expert advice of the Town’s contracted water operator and Utilities Committee.

The Town of Middleburg continues to urge residents to implement voluntary water conservation measures, to include: limiting the use of irrigation systems; limiting outdoor watering, including washing of cars; reducing use of water while brushing teeth or showering; and alerting the Town if you find a water leak.

The Town is extremely thankful to its residents and businesses for their measurable efforts in decreasing consumption over the last several months while the restrictions were in effect.

The best fall wardrobes around here come from an afternoon downtown.

The shops trade summer linen for sweater-weather layers, wool and suede, and the kind of seasonal finds you don’t come across at the mall. Spend an afternoon wandering in and out of them, and you’ll leave with something for the closet and probably a gift or two.

Swing by during the week. You won’t be disappointed!

The best fall days start with a drive and no agenda. 🍂

Point the car toward Middleburg and let the day unfold: coffee before the shops open, a slow lap down the Town's streets, lunch that runs long, and country roads glowing gold the whole way home.

Save this for your fall road trip.

You don’t need to own a horse to ride through Hunt Country. 🐴

On weekdays, the Salamander Middleburg Equestrian Center opens its guided trail rides to the public, whether you’re a resort guest or not. Climb aboard one of their gentle horses for a one-hour ride through wooded trails and open countryside, led by an experienced guide every step of the way. Reservations are required, so book ahead and plan your ride.

Afterward, spend the rest of the day shopping your way through town. And if you’re traveling with your own horse, you can stable it at Salamander for your stay.

A Master Sommelier curates the w**e list on Washington Street, and the kitchen matches it plate for plate.

That's Tremolo Bar. The chef behind it, Jarad Slipp, cooked in Michelin-starred kitchens before opening his own w**e bar in Middleburg, and the food shows it. Hanger steak in a proper au poivre, oysters baked with parm and bacon, and house-made pastas worth the trip. Then there's the w**e, more than 70 by the glass, chosen by one of the few hundred Master Sommeliers in the world.

Come hungry, stay for the pour.

If October were a place, it would be Middleburg. 🍂

The town has a certain magic this time of year. Peak foliage along the Hunt Country roads, crisp mornings that call for a coffee to go, storefronts dressed for fall, and cozy dinners that taste even better as the evenings cool. It's the kind of place where you can slow down and let the season set the pace.

Plan your trip before it's too late.
