Featured Members & Artists John Kilmartin & the Alleghany Inn The Alleghany Inn has been a mainstay in Sparta, NC for the past 30 years. It was opened in 1984 and is still owned by the same group today. The Inn was renovated to its current condition in the late 90’s to its current 64 room capacity.

The Inn was built to serve the community and has continued to do so over the three decades it’s been in operation. John Kilmartin, the General Manager of the Alleghany Inn has helped continue the Inn’s mission of service to the community over the nine and a half years that he and his family have been residents of Alleghany County.

John and his family had been coming to the mountains of North Carolina on vacation for several years and upon a break in his career in the summer of 2004, John and wife, Wrenn, decided it was time for a change. So, they packed up and moved their three kids from Raleigh to Sparta, NC on a leap of faith. Once they were living in Alleghany, everything started falling into place for them. Wrenn began working within the Alleghany School system and John submitted his resume, including his award winning hotel management experience, to the Alleghany Job Link Center, with the intent to take any job not just those within the lodging business. Coincidently, the same day he submitted his resume, the Alleghany Inn began looking for a new General Manager and John began working at the Inn two days later.

Throughout the years, as John Kilmartin has come to love and cherish this community, he has become more and more involved. He and Wrenn are members of the Sparta United Methodist Church and have served on several boards there. John has been involved with the local Boy Scout Troop and served as assistant Scout Master. He serves on the board of the Sparta Revitalization Committee and the Tourism Development Authority, as well as the Blue Ridge Christian School. John also serves as Board Chair for the Partnership for Children. The Alleghany Inn has always been a sponsor of many community events and festivals throughout the year, including the Mountain Heritage Festival. Not only does the Inn sponsor the event, but John has been an integral part of the planning process for the festival. In 2005, he noticed there were no tents for shade from the sun or from the rain and no chairs for the festival goers to sit and enjoy the live music from the stage. Now every festival, John shows up early to help setup the tents and chairs and stays late in the evening to help take them down.

For more information about the Alleghany Inn, visit the website at www.AlleghanyInn. com or call 336-372-2501. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by the Alleghany Inn and say “Hello” to John and tell him we sent you!

She went to Greensboro Women’s College, after graduating from Sparta High School, where she received her four year degree in Business Administration. Barbara was then recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency and she moved to DC and worked with the CIA for over three years. She married and had three children while in DC. Once her children were grown, Barbara was working for a software development company and she decided she was tired of the hectic city life and realized she needed a change, so she sold her house and moved back to Alleghany County in 1999.

After working a few part time jobs around town, Barbara was hired as the Main Street Coordinator in late 2000. As Main Street Coordinator, Barbara works closely with the Town of Sparta and the Sparta Revitalization Committee in town beautification and economic development.

The Sparta Revitalization Committee was established in early 1996 by the Alleghany Chamber of Commerce as part of a long-range planning process known as “Alleghany 2000 and Beyond”. After Sparta was certified as a Main Street Community through the efforts of the Sparta Revitalization Committee (SRC) and the town, in 1998, it was decided that Sparta needed a Main Street Coordinator. That’s when town officials along with members of the SRC chose Barbara for the position. Throughout the years, Barbara and the SRC have created and spearheaded several events that take place all year round, including many holiday parades, Festival of Trees during the Christmas season, and Summer Jamboree, a summer concert series in Crouse Park on Saturday nights.

The group has been involved in many other projects like Historical Walking Tours, Welcome Signs at all four corners of town and coordinating decorations and banners along Main Street. SRC members and Barbara can be seen around town, several days a week, cleaning the streets, picking up trash, planting flowers, and all sorts of odd jobs.

Although Barbara may work part time as Main Street Coordinator, many times she is out on the streets on her days off, volunteering her time to beautify the town with all the other members of SRC. As you drive down Main Street in Sparta, see if you can spot all the different projects the SRC has been responsible for over the years, you may even spot Barbara hard at work.
