About Stuarts Draft, VA
Stuarts Draft is located just south of Waynesboro along the Rt 340 corridor. It has been called the "Warehouse capital of the U.S." because of the seven warehouse/factories including Hollister medical supplies, Target stores distribution (T-560), Hershey Chocolate of Virginia, McKee Foods, NIBCO, Ply Gem, and Rexnord. (Wikipedia, 2021) These factories and warehouses make up some of the largest employers in Augusta County. The Target Distribution Center alone accounts for a 37 acre foot print.
Stuarts Draft has a lot to offer in recreation. Shenandoah Acres, now owned by Sun RV Resorts, has been a traditional spot for the summer fun enthusiast, offering swimming, fishing, miniature golf, camping sites and more.
