3 Best Day Trips from Washington, D.C. | Condé Nast Traveler

"A must-visit for any outdoorsman or horse lover, the National Sporting Library & Museum was founded in 1954 in Middleburg with the mission of “preserving, promoting, and sharing the literature, art, and culture of equestrian, angling, and field sports.” The collection here is small but tight, and ranges from photographs to works on canvas and sculpture, all spanning centuries. Most of the special exhibitions are focused on horses and equestrian sports (you are in horse country, after all)—a fall 2020 exhibition, Thrill of the ’Chace: Steeplechase in Art , opens Sept. 9 and will be on view through March 21, 2021." - Laura Ratliff, Kristen Schott
