Fort Defiance is a part of the Staunton-Waynesboro micropolitan area of Virginia. Local legend has it that the Augusta Stone Church, established in 1740, was used during the French and Indian War as a refuge. Now it is more famous as the oldest Presbyterian Church that has been continuously used within the state. While in the area, be sure to check out the VA-A99 historical marker located at Willow Spout. In the mid-19th century, a willow tree was planted over a spring. This was to so water could be forced out of a spout driven into the willow's side and into a water trough. Children attend Clymore Elementary School, Stewart Middle School and Fort Defiance High School and learn of this unusual history.
