Inside you will find Visitor Services, Rocktown Gift Shoppe, The Valley Turnpike Museum and the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Civil War Orientation Center. Executive offices for Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance and Harrisonburg Tourism are located upstairs. We opened in July of 2005 to serve the community and visitors to the region.
