In this issue , get to know local legend Sheila Johnson , the first Black female billionaire , patron , and member of the arts , who operates the Salamander Middleburg — a stunning property in Middleburg , VA , about a 30-minute drive from Dulles Airport . Ms . Johnson recently released her memoir , Walk Through Fire , which shares her journey to healing after a challenging marriage . She wants to help inspire others to work towards recovery and happiness ; she is thriving in her third act with an awe-inspiring business portfolio , a joyous marriage , and a new career path .
We have an in-depth neighborhood spotlight on Middleburg , VA , a charming village at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains where equestrian life rules . Known as the “ Nation ’ s Horse and Hunt Capital ,” high-profile residents have included Jackie O , Elizabeth Taylor , and Robert Duvall . Don ’ t miss the historic Red Fox Inn , which has been operating since 1728 .
We loved meeting Frédéric Yonnet , a fantastic local harmonica player whose music transcends boundaries and expectations . He ’ s played with Stevie Wonder and Prince and worked on film soundtracks with Martin Scorsese .
Far and wide travel inspiration is available in our Across the Map section . We invite you to explore ideas for a romantic getaway to Rome or a party weekend in New Orleans ; perhaps you ’ re into adventure and want to heli-ski in Whistler ?
