The Bear Chase Brewing Company offers spectacular views In 2017 five close friends decided to open an event venue on the site of a historic homestead in Bluemont. They quickly realized the location would be perfect for a brewery. While the tasting room draws many visitors, the real heart of Bear Chase Brewing Company is the Brew Barn. The Bear's Paw quilt square will soon be featured at Bear Chase.

You can visit the Bond Street Barn anytime, but it hosts beautiful crafts during the Waterford Fair every October The Bond Street Barn is a two story bank barn. The lower level is rubble stone with a board and batten frame structure as the upper level. Because it is built into the hillside, each story opens to ground level on opposite sides of the structure… hence the term “bank” barn. The Apple Pie Ridge quilt square is mounted on the barn as part of the Barn Quilt trail.

Sylvanside Farm will soon be home to the Wedding Ring quilt square.
