Don’t miss Purcellville, graced with Victorian homes dating back to 1874 when the railroad came through; Hillsboro, known for its quintessential stone buildings; Round Hill, where wealthy Washingtonians once escaped the summer heat; and Waterford, settled by Quakers and the site of a long-running fall arts festival.
