The Historic Fieldale Walking Tour offers a glimpse into the town’s development, beginning with its origins as Waller’s Ford, established by Major George Waller in 1770.

Visitors can explore key sites such as the original mill buildings, the Virginia Home Inn, Fieldale Community Center, and historic churches. The tour captures the essence of a community built around industrial growth and the legacy of its founders.
