Surrounded by hardwood forests and with plenty of water available from nearby streams, Luray was an ideal location for a leather tannery. The Borst Tannery operated in Luray up until 1863 when it was burned by the Union Army. In 1882, the Virginia Oak Tannery was built and operated in Luray until 1980, when tanning operations ceased.
