The Virginia Quilt Museum moved into the restored Silver Lake Mill in Dayton, and its rotating exhibits of heirloom, contemporary and art quilts include, through the end of 2026, a 250-quilt exhibit commemorating the Commonwealth. There’s no equivalent museum anywhere closer to Luray.

It’s about 50 minutes from Luray, close enough to pair with Harrisonburg-area stops (Shenandoah Heritage Market, Pale Fire Brewing) into one day. Open Tuesday through Saturday; closed Sunday and Monday, and confirmed closed Nov 25–27, 2026 for Thanksgiving.
