For a Whole New Perspective
The Scenic Gateway to the Heart of the Appalachians
Come visit Tazewell County's historic rural sites and small towns to
rediscover life the way it used to be: folksy, relaxed, safe, quiet,
neighborly.
Enjoy a pioneering experience in a reconstructed pioneer settlement and
museum. Become immersed in nature's grandeur as you wander off the main
roads.
Walk through the world's oldest exhibition coal mine and its fascinating
company town.
Stay over in Virginia's western frontier to tour the magnificent Breaks
Interstate Park, watch "Trail of the Lonesome Pine," a unique outdoor
drama which tells a true story of frontier romance, thrill to an exciting
NASCAR-style race, and relax along hiking trails, view the natural
wonders, or fish for trout, bass and muskies. These are among the
exciting and wonderful ways for you to enjoy a vacation in the region
called the "Heart of the Appalachians, America's Homeplace."
