Our 2022 Season Begins Thursday, April 28! WE'RE HIRING!
The beauty of Capon in the spring and fall makes them ideal times to visit, and offers the perfect opportunity to participate in special programs or workshops. All programs are included in your overnight stay unless otherwise noted!
Saturday Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides
Take a step back in time as you ride Capon’s restored carriage from the 1870s around our historic grounds. This was like the carriage used to carry Mountain House guests from the Capon Road Depot in Strasburg, VA, over the Great North Mountain to the resort. NOTE: Some weekends will include Friday afternoon and/or evening trips.
Tuesday Dark Skies Astronomy Presentations
Join us for an exploration of the heavens with NASA Solar System Ambassador Greg Redfern. This fascinating look at the night sky provides great insight to the dramatic revelations of our universe.
Big Band Dance
Not scheduled for 2021. Stay tuned for the fall in case they can return this year.
Join Gary Wolfe’s Jazz Band for an evening of great music and dancing.
