This charming farm town became the center of commerce in Western Loudoun with the arrival of the railroad in 1874. Today, the rail bed has been converted to the Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park, a paved multi-use recreation trail that runs 45 miles from Arlington, Virginia to Purcellville. Purcellville is also home to many unique shops and eateries, including the "oddest store in Loudoun County".
