Incorporated in 1772 and on the National Register of Historic Places, Fincastle serves as the county seat for Botetourt County and it's a fantastic place to visit for anyone who loves history. The entire area is a virtual museum of American architecture from the late 1770s through the 21st century. In fact, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark visited Fincastle, then on the edge of the Western frontier, before and after they were commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the Louisiana Purchase. As a result of the significant historical connection to Lewis & Clark, the town has been nationally recognized and designated as a Lewis & Clark Community. Located in Fincastle is teh Botetourt Historical Museum, the historic Botetourt County Courthouse, the James Matten Early Cabin, and the Wysong Blacksmith shop. Take a self guided walking tour of the town or contact Historic Fincastle, Inc. for guided tours - http://hisfin.org/
