Natural Bridge Virginia

On our way to visit Michael's relatives in Staunton VA, we had the chance to see Natural Bridge. It is one of the oldest tourist destinations in the United States. The Natural Bridge of Virginia is located in Rockbridge County.

The Bridge has been included in several "Seven Natural Wonders of the World" lists, mostly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It has been designated a National Historic Landmark, a Virginia Historic Landmark, and is listed in the National Register of historic Places.

Natural Bridge and Niagara Falls were the two wonders of the new world that Europeans visited during the 18th & 19th centuries. Of the two sights, Natural Bridge, without clear explanation of its formation, was the more mysterious.
