Because small-town buildings carry big history.
After the passing of Carroll Lee Walker, a Virginia philanthropist, preservationist, and lifelong steward of local history, this general store was gifted to Rassawek to ensure his vision would continue to be cared for and shared.
Today, it stands at Rassawek as a place of curiosity, craftsmanship, and remembrance, connecting visitors to Virginia’s rail-era past and honoring the legacy of a man who dedicated his life to preservation.
📍 Located near the train cars at Rassawek Vineyard
🕰️ Inspired by 1800s railroad village life
🌿 Preserved with intention for future generations

This year reminded us just how special this community is, from welcoming the largest crowd we’ve ever had at the Autumn Festival, to spending summer nights together at our very first Sawmill Music Series events!
We celebrated weddings across the property, including at our newest and largest venue, the Pavilion, and watched so many meaningful moments unfold.
You joined us to learn something new, whether that was crafting wreaths at Wine & Wreath or baking fresh bread, and gathered together for wine tastings.
Every event was made better by you! Thank you for continuing to support us and for making each gathering as fun and memorable.
We can’t wait to welcome you back in 2026 and do it all again together.

Did you know Rassawek is home to more than 30 restored properties?
Founded in 2000 by a family passionate about preserving the past, Rassawek was created as a retreat unlike any other. Over the years, historic buildings and materials from across the region, many once headed for demolition, have been carefully salvaged, relocated, repurposed, and rebuilt throughout the property.
Today, Rassawek is a place where natural beauty and local history come together, and where the stories of the past are thoughtfully preserved and shared with the community.
