the east. The Massanutten Mountains, boasting multiple recreation
opportunities, lies to the west. Situated at the intersection of US 33
and US 340, Elkton is easily accessible from interstate highways and
metropolitan areas.
Surrounded by farms, which provide
a wonderful country environment, Elkton is a quaint little town, far
from traffic jams and frantic crowds, and offers something for
everyone. It is a thriving community providing quality public
education, health care, employment and community activities.

spectacular scenery around.

Vineyards is something to see. Long known for its rich heritage and
