Virginia LOVE Signs Locations

1. English Acre Farms (Rappahannock County)

In Old Town Fredericksburg, you will find the historic Hurkamp Park with brick sidewalks, benches, and the year-round Fredericksburg Farmers Market.

The market is open on Saturdays and features homegrown vegetables, home-baked goods, and homemade items by local bakers and farmers.

There is also a stage in the park that features local groups on weekends and during the evening. Bring a picnic lunch or dinner, throw down the blanket and enjoy an evening in the park.

The LOVEwork sign here changes with the season, so you may see the snowy winter scene with snowmen and sleds or letters that showcase the culture, museums, waterways, and breweries. 

This is a great sign to visit throughout the year to see what the letters feature.

Address: Prince Edward St, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

3. Smith Bowman Distillery (Fredericksburg)

A visit to the Smith Bowman Distillery means taking a free tour of the distillery and then heading to the tasting table to sample some award-winning spirits.

5. Luray Caverns (Luray)

While visiting the Luray Caverns, the east coast’s largest caverns, and U.S. National Landmark, check out Virginia‘s Log Cabin Capital LOVEworks sign to the left of the gas station at the cavern’s entrance.

The LOVE letters are made from logs and represent all the log cabins around Luray and Page Counties.

At the Luray Caverns, take the one-hour underground walk to see the marvelous stalactites and stalagmites.

The complexity and size of some of them are just incredible.

The caves are at a constant 60-degree temperature, so dress appropriately for your 1-mile walk. A paved walkway and no stairs access the cave.

Also on the property and worth your time to visit are the Car and Carriage Caravan, the Toy Town Junction, and the Shenandoah Heritage Village.

6. Virginia Museum of the Civil War (New Market)

On the hillside in front of the Virginia Museum of the Civil War in New Market, you will find an appropriately themed LOVE sign.

The “L” is created from two cannon barrels, while the O is a cannon wheel. Two Signal Corps flags are positioned to make the “V,” while rough-cut lumber similar to the wood used to build the Boshong Farm was used to create the “E”.\

After taking pictures at the LOVEworks sign, head to the museum, where you can learn more about the Battle of New Market through galleries of exhibits and watch the Emmy-winning film Field of Lost Shoes.

Then visit the historic Boshong Farm and learn more about Jacob Bushong and his family and how the farm became a memorial to the cadets of VMI during the Battle of New Market.

Address: 8895 George Collins Pkwy, New Market, VA 22844

7. Stable Craft Brewing (Waynesboro)

You can’t miss the tractor tire “O” topped with a humongous cowboy hat as you enter the Stable Craft Brewing property.

Six of Stable Craft Brewing’s kegs are stacked to make the “V,” while local wood was used to create the L and E.

Stable Craft Brewing is located in the Shenandoah Valley at Hermitage Hill Farm and Stables and has been named the area’s Brewery of the Year and has the best patio dining. 

The atmosphere here is family and pet-friendly and visiting is one of the best things to do in Waynesboro.

The Prince Michel Vineyard’s LOVEwork sign was made to look like the tops of wine barrels with blue Riesling wine bottles displayed to create the LOVE letters.

This is a favorite sign because it is beautiful the whole way around. Be sure to walk around this sign.

On sunny days, the sun will even shine through the bottles.

In the middle of Virginia Wine Country, you will find both Rapidan River and Prince Michel wines. 

The wines have won numerous competitions worldwide and are one of the most distributed wines on the east coast.

Have you ever felt like you were in Alice in Wonderland when she shrunk?

That is the feeling you get when you sit in the 8-foot-tall, high-heeled LOVEworks shoe at the Craddock Terry Hotel.  

In the early 1900s, the building that now houses the Craddock Terry Hotel was a shoe factory.

Today the brick warehouse boutique hotel in Lynchburg features 44 luxurious guest suites and rooms with views of the James River, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and downtown Lynchburg.

The tools that help keep the gardens looking so beautiful are represented in the V, while the E in the Earth is the staff at the garden’s pledge to serve all who respect the Earth. 

Since you must pay the garden admission fee to see this sign, you might as well get your money’s worth and explore the beautiful 50-acre gem of a garden.

Today you can stroll the pathways and marvel at all the beautiful flowering plants inside the 63-feet-tall domed conservatory and outside.

Be sure to visit often throughout the year for special garden events like the Butterflies LIVE program in the summer, during Halloween for Goblins and Gourds, and the GardenFest of Lights from Thanksgiving through early January.

The teahouse and café make the perfect place to get a refreshing drink or lunch when exploring the botanical gardens. The garden shop has a variety of plants to entice you into beginning or adding to your garden.

Children will also have fun exploring the gardens, especially those designed specifically for children.

In the Children’s Garden, they can play in the water-play area, climb into the treehouse, and view the gardens.

Outside, you will find the rose gardens where you can see and smell more than 70 varieties of roses, the Asian Valley dedicated solely to Asian plants, and the Cherry Tree Walk, which bursts into bloom each spring.
