An ancient sea, a mountain that eventually gave up and collapsed inward, and somehow a full community grew right in the middle of the wreckage. A Mountain That Collapsed Into ItselfMillions of years ago, a mountain stood roughly 6,500 feet tall right on this spot. You can find this remarkable spot at Burkes Garden, Virginia 24651. Located at 6156 Burke’s Garden Road, it stocks Amish-prepared foods, baked goods, and bulk goods you cannot find anywhere nearby. The Irishman Who Accidentally Named EverythingThe name Burke’s Garden did not come from a map or a government official.
