The Plains is a quaint, small town located in Virginia's beautiful hunt country. It is home to antique stores and fine restaurants, including The Rail Stop Restaurant, which was formerly owned by actor Robert Duvall. The Plains' Great Meadow Events Center hosts the famed Virgina Gold Cup steeplechase race, which is held each year on the same day as the Kentucky Derby, and also the International Gold Cup.
