The Track was built in 1933 and was at the time, the only running horse track in the united states. J. Edgar Hoover was a regular Guest here as well as John Kennedy and Jacki O. In 1972 A new track was build across the street and the Shenandoah Downs was closed and used as a practice track until January of 2006 when Demolition began to make way for a new hotel for the active casino/racetrack on the property.
