The National Sporting Library & Museum is the stop that makes Middleburg's horse-country identity concrete. Its collections cover equestrian sport, foxhunting, angling, shooting, and field-sport art, with paintings, sculpture, rare books, and changing exhibitions.
Even if you do not ride, the museum explains why this little town has the tone it does. It is also a calm, well-kept place to spend an hour before returning to Washington Street.
