Welcome to Newtown!

Newtown is the largest of Staunton’s six historic districts. Architecture runs the gamut—from Federal to Colonial Revival, from Italianate and ornate Victorian to Gothic Revival and simple vernacular frame houses. Some of Staunton’s most impressive historic mansions are in Newtown, several built originally as female academies.
The Newtown Neighborhood Association, NNA, was founded in 2000 and is a thriving group run by an elected board. We organize seasonal annual events for our neighborhood community, including an Ice Cream Social in the summer, a Labor Day Block Party, a Soup Social in the winter, and more!

Membership in NNA is open to anyone residing or owning property in the Newtown distict. Other interested individuals or groups are also welcome to join. Dues are $10 per year per household or you can opt for the $100 lifetime membership. Renewals are collected at the annual Block Party, the Soup Social, or by clicking the Join button at the top of our webpage. New homeowners are welcomed to the neighborhood with a Newtown tote bag packed with information pamphlets, some treats and a membership application. Neighborhood announcements travel via email to all members, along with postings on Facebook, Instagram, and flyers.
