The truth is, the "new" is New Market is a bit misleading. For a town that's been around since the eighteenth century, there has been a lot of new development in the area. Yet none of that detracts from the town's essentially quaint, historical atmosphere. Here, you can create the perfect small-town lifestyle, within the picturesque beauty of the Shenandoah Valley.

History seems to go hand-in-hand with culture. One local institution that proves the relationship between the two is the Shultz Theatre, one of the "Top Performing Arts Groups in Virginia" according to Virginia Living magazine. Recent events include performances of "Cabaret" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

You may soon become curious about the history of your new hometown. As you'll discover at the Virginia Civil War Museum and New Market Battlefield State Historical Park, there are plenty of stories about the past. The Civil War left its mark on the young men of this small town, many of whom were cadets at the Virginia Military Institute when the war came to their doorstep. As a resident of New Market, you will want to see the place that landed your town in the pages of history, and learn more about the events of the era at the Virginia Museum of the Civil War.

If history and museums aren't your cup of tea, chances are the shopping here is. Local shopping is more eclectic than what you'd find a bigger town, but residents wouldn't have it any other way. Short Stop Market and Wine Shop is a helpful little shop with just about everything you could be looking for, including coffee, sandwiches, delicious baked goods, but also wine, unique gifts, and jewelry. If you want to look exclusively at gift ideas or just indulge your artistic side, the Gingham Cottage Gift Shop is your destination. Local artists love to use the Cottage Shop as a venue for their work--so don't miss your chance to take home a one-of-a-kind artwork. Nearby Hunterdom Importing specializes in reproduction Civil War-era gear.
