'By now you've noticed the elegant fieldstone Red Fox Inn (540-687-6301) in the center of town. The innkeeper, Turner Reuter, says the original structure dates from 1728, when Joseph Chinn, George Washington's first cousin, built Chinn's Ordinary, a place for weary stagecoach and horseback travelers to recharge. Today it is on the National Register of Historic Places. President Kennedy's press secretary, Pierre Salinger, once held a press conference in its small art gallery (ask for a visit after dinner). Request a cozy fireside table or sidle up to the bar, which Mr. Reuter says was built from a Civil War operating table. Try the house specialty, rich peanut soup ($6.50).'' New York Times
