Along with Sky Meadows State Park, Delaplane is home to the G. Richard Thompson Wildlife Management Area, the Crooked Run Valley Rural Historic District, and Goose Creek, a designated Virginia State Scenic River. Delaplane Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in February 2004. The state-funded Virginia Outdoors Foundation along with private conservation groups such as the Piedmont Environmental Council have helped place the vast predominance of Delaplane's privately held land into perpetual conservation easement. These efforts, coupled with Delaplane's ensconcement within northern Fauquier County's most restrictive "RC" (Rural Conservation) zoning district, have imposed strict limits on development, and fostered the growth of local, family oriented farm-to-table efforts such as Hollin Farms and Valley View Farm that participate in the Piedmont Environmental Council's Buy Fresh Buy Local program.
