Patsy Cline resided in Winchester, VA longer than at any other house associated with her and she returned to it intermittently until her singing career began in 1957. This morning we visit her historic home which serves as a proud testament to Patsy's love of family. Her devoted and influential relationship with her mother and their drive and determination launched Patsy's career. Following the home tour, a local guide will board the coach for a tour of Patsy's hometown. Enjoy more of this very rural location with a rail excursion on board the Potomac Eagle. A narrated three-hour excursion through the tranquil mountain valley of West Virginia. Around every curve you are rewarded with the splendor of native wildflowers, evergreens and mixed hardwoods in unspoiled countryside. Don't be surprised if you see bald eagles swooping overhead across the mountain skies! Tonight, we experience the 1924 vintage colonial revival architecture of the George Washington Hotel. Throughout its almost 100 years, it has hosted many celebrities including Lucille Ball and other famous Apple Blossom Festival queens! Betty Crocker held an apple pie baking contest in one of the ballrooms! Tonight, sit back and enjoy the soothing reminder of a past era as a Tribute to Patsy Cline celebrates Winchester's most famous daughter.
