Accordingly, there are a wealth of historic buildings, sites and landmarks for the culture seeker to peruse, including Belle Grove Plantation, Abram's Delight, the Hexagon House, and Glen Burnie, among others. Winchester prides itself on its self-proclaimed "classic" restaurants, many of which have weathered the sands of time and exist today as much relics of the past as viable eateries. These restaurants include the iconic Triangle Diner and the Snow White Grille. Sports fans will want to check out the Winchester Royals, who play in the Valley Baseball League.
