Virginia is for adventure lovers.
The Nelson County Blog
The LONG WEEKEND is here 🥳🥳🥳 Y’all come on 😎 #headtothemountains #labordayweekend #craftcocktails #livemusic #letthefunbegin

Early tomorrow ✨🌙 ✨🌙✨
Don’t miss a stunning celestial show as the crescent Moon glows right beside the Pleiades star cluster (Seven Sisters) in the eastern sky before dawn.
Look up around 4:30–5:00 AM for the best view. Even with the naked eye, the Moon and Pleiades will look magical — and with binoculars, you’ll see dozens of sparkling stars around the cluster.
A peaceful reminder that the same stars have inspired myths and stories for thousands of years.
