Abram's Delight Museum

Abram's Delight, Winchester's oldest house dating back to 1754, was the home of five generations of the prominent Hollingsworth family. As an early settler, Abraham Hollingsworth built one of the first grist mills in the Valley and his home served as the area's first Quaker meeting house. Today, the property serves as a museum and is furnished with 18th-century art and antiques that tell the story of the early Shenandoah Valley settlers.
