The mission of the museum of the shenandoah valley (MSV) is to preserve and enrich the cultural life and heritage of the valley. A cultural site that serves the entire region, the MSV fulfills its mission by presenting a wide variety of exhibitions, offering an extensive schedule of educational and community programming, operating a 90-ACRE art park on its landscape, preserving the largest green space and only outdoor working FARM in the city of winchester, and actively building and caring for a collection of objects which tell the valley's story, including the GLEN burnie house and the collection of its LAST occupant, the formal seven-ACRE gardens surrounding the house, and rose HILL FARM park, a public park and civil WAR battlefield site. The MSV celebrates the valley's past, serves as a vibrant cultural center in the present, and utilizes its entire campus for educational and public programming including garden spaces, galleries, classrooms, a makerspace studio, and the trails.
