Wytheville (pronounced WITH-vill) was given its current name in 1839 after being founded as Evansham in 1792. Named for the first signer of the Declaration of Independence for Virginia - George Wythe, it was selected as the county seat of Wythe County (1790). At the time, it was the junction of two great western roads, the Ingles Ferry and the Peppers Ferry trails. Today, two federal highways, Interstates 77 & 81, bring tens of thousands of travelers daily to experience this charming Southern town.

This guide contains information regarding attractions, lodging and dining, history, entertainment, events, and outdoor recreation.

Blue Ridge Bobcats

Don’t panic – we’re talking about Hockey. The Blue Ridge Bobcats have taken the ice in their inaugural season in the Federal Prospects Hockey League. Wytheville has quickly become a hockey town while cheering on the Bobcats as they’ve battled teams from Detroit to Mississippi attempting to bring the Commissioner’s Cup back to their den. This high action sport is guaranteed to have you on your feet and beating on the glass.

Inn at Foster Falls, (Featuring 1887 Dining)

After half a century a historic Wythe County hotel has reopened. Located inside New River Trail State Park, the Inn at Foster Falls, a full-service property, offers 10 luxe guest rooms, banquet/meeting facilities and large two-story porches overlooking the New River. Originally opened in 1887 as a hotel, this stately structure became an industrial girl’s school in 1914, then a co-ed orphanage until 1962. Sitting vacant for more than 50 years since, this fully renovated gem is sparkling once again, welcoming guests.

The historic Millwald Theatre has been fully restored, right down to the original neon marquee, and is now hosting Grammy nominees and Academy Award-winning films. Originally built in 1928, the Millwald was “Virginia’s longest continuously running theatre” when it closed it’s doors in 2005. Reopened in December of 2022, it’s played host to singer Pam Tillis, comedian Henry Cho, the Drifters, and Devin Allman right in the heart of Downtown Wytheville.

Downtown Wytheville provides both a diverse array of activities, beauty and small town charm which makes a visit to Main Street and the surrounding areas a captivating experience for both locals and visitors alike.

Shoppers can find one of a kind treasures ranging from emerging and established local artist paintings and sculptures, one-of-a-kind woodworking items, boho sheek clothing picks, Le Vian and Pandora jewelry, in-house made, barrel-fired, ceramics and so much more!

Within just a few blocks, the heart of Wytheville is also home to five museums, including one of only eight in the Nation dedicated to the birthplace of a First Lady, an original Freedmen’s Bureau African-American Schoolhouse now dedicated to preserving the history of AfricanAmerican and rural education in Wythe County during the years of segregation and a Town museum with an exhibit cataloging Wytheville’s “Summer Without Children” during the 1950’s polio pandemic. Wytheville’s Historical Walking Tour is accompanied by a 63-page brochure, detailing stories from Wytheville’s past, as well as the historical significance of current and long ago lost structures, all while leading history buffs through some of the oldest and most breathtaking parts of the Town.

Boasting two craft breweries, a wine bar and a historical theatre, all offering live entertainment and activities, means fun is never more than a few steps away when enjoying the music filled streets of Downtown. Live performances, trivia, comedy, classic movies and a variety of uniquely tailored workshops, classes and special events are just some of the ways to experience Wytheville at it’s best.

Local flavor options to please both the eyes and the taste buds abound in our Downtown! Specialty ice cream and milkshakes, regional meat and cheese charcuterie boards, fresh New York bagels with homemade cream cheese schmears, brick oven pizza, intricately hand-decorated baked goods, craft BBQ, and elevated Southern cuisine also make Wytheville’s Downtown a favorite stop for food lovers of all types.

Lodging in Downtown Wytheville encompasses choices from a boutique hotel, complete with in-house fine dining restaurant and rooftop bar, a bed and breakfast housed inside a beautifully restored Classic Revival style mansion that’s filled with Southern charm and hospitality, as well as several comfortably furnished lofts and properties which offer privacy and are located within walking distance of all things Downtown.

Outdoor lovers will also enjoy a leisure stroll on Wytheville’s Heritage Walk. This brick-paved path meanders through the heart of Wytheville’s Historic and Business Districts, connecting beautiful downtown public parks, Withers and Elizabeth Brown, all the way to Wytheville’s Visitors Center. Along the way, visitors will find historic structures, unique businesses and plenty of interesting experiences while learning about this charming town.

THE BIG PENCIL

Visitors make it a “point” to see this Wytheville Main Street landmark. The late John Campbell Findlay, (original owner of Wytheville Office Supply, whose store front is home to this impressive feature), had the pencil constructed in the early 1960’s. Made of metal, it is approximately 30 feet long & has had many facelifts over the years in order to keep the structure in pristine condition. The pencil has also been featured in the Washington Post’s syndicated comic strip “Zippy” by Bill Griffith.

WYTHEVILLE LOVEWORKS DISPLAY

In the center of downtown at 260 West Monroe Street is Wytheville’s LOVEworks display. Part of a statewide initiative to strengthen awareness of the “Virginia is for Lovers” brand, communities design their LOVE to showcase the significance of their area. Wytheville’s letters depict aspects of history that have impacted the community. The L represents the influence of the railroad. The O showcases a hot air balloon, such as the one used in our elevated water tank in honor of the annual Chautauqua Festival. V depicts the two interstates that cross here, I-77 and I-81, as well as our branding theme of “Wytheville...There’s Only One.” E honors the history of baseball in this community as it was played in Withers Park behind the LOVE display. It’s a great place to snap a photo. Stop by and feel the LOVE. Please tag us in your photos @ VisitWytheville, #VisitWytheville, #LoveVA.

This mural located downtown honors the life of Wytheville native and United States First Lady Edith Bolling Wilson. The 100-foot mural, titled “From Wytheville to The White House,” features eight significant scenes drawing from events of Mrs. Wilson’s life, including her birth, Native American ancestry, life as First Lady, her last visit to Wytheville at the age of 88, and her death in 1961. It was created by artist, Andrew Williams.

HOPE MURAL AT OPEN DOOR CAFE

Created by local artist, Jen Otey, this mural is meant to be both bold and inspiring. Entitled, “2020 Pandemic Prayer for a Peaceful Transformation”, the piece was based on the 1861 Emily Dickinson poem, “Hope is the Thing with Feathers”, suggesting that hope is a bird within us all which keeps singing, even through difficulty.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS RECREATION AREA

Wytheville is home to countless outdoor recreation opportunities, with 1,800 acres of townowned property. Crystal Springs Recreation Area is just three miles from Downtown Wytheville and is surrounded by the 7500-acre Big Survey Wildlife Management Area (managed by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.) The thirteen miles of hiking and mountain biking trails range in difficulty from beginner to advanced. The Terrain Park gives mountain bikers a fun place to practice on balance beams, teeter totters, rock gardens, log crossings, and other obstacles. The history of the property that make up Crystal Springs includes family farms and logging land. Piles of rocks that were cleared from the fields by farmers still stand along Woodpecker Run Trail as testament to how difficult farming in the mountains could be. The Short Cut Trail and the southern portion of the Boundary Trail follow an old wagon road that crossed Lick Mountain. Stories tell of moonshiners using this road to move their product out of the sight of law enforcement. In the 1930’s, the Town of Wytheville purchased the land to preserve the watershed, which flowed to the town, and to build a water reservoir. The reservoir remains and is approximately 60 square feet and 8 feet deep, although years of erosion have filled it with sediment. Hike the Crystal Springs Loop Trail to see the remnants of the reservoir. Along the Waterline Trail you can see the sections of the water pipe that carried water from the reservoir down the valley.

Directions from Wytheville:

BIG SURVEY

CRYSTAL SPRINGS REC AREA

• Terrain Park

Designated a National Recreation Trail, the New River Trail State Park consists of 57-miles of linear trail, covering 765-acres which follows abandoned railroad right-of-ways. Gliding along the scenic and historic New River, one of the oldest rivers in the world and among only a handful that flows north, for 39 of those miles, the trail passes through four counties and one city. Offering the gentlest of slopes, the trail is perfect for visitors of all ages, and draws a variety of hikers, bikers and horseback riders. Areas within and surrounding the park, such as the Foster Falls section, delight visitors with additional outdoor adventure opportunities like canoeing, kayaking and fishing.

In order to extend your exploration of the park, primitive camping options are available and for those who like their overnights to be a bit more comfortable, the park also houses the Inn at Foster Falls, a newly restored 1887 boutique hotel, complete with dinner service and suites. Points of interest throughout the trail include two tunnels, one running 135 feet long and the other 193, carved from the limestone rock faces jutting down towards the river bed below, three major bridges climbing upwards of 670, 951 and 1,089 feet above the ground and a historic shot tower used over 200 years ago to form ammunition which is also open to the public seasonally for those wishing to climb the 75-foot structure.

OUTER LOOP • 237.1 MILES

Travel through 8 different counties with a variety of terrain, proving ideal for every type of rider. The Outer Loop also takes you across Whitetop Mountain and around Mount Rogers, the two highest mountains in Virginia.

BASTIAN LOOP • 82 MILES

The Bastian Loop includes the third mountain in the stretch of road known as the famous “Back of the Dragon” trek and travels by Burkes Garden, an oval, bowl-like valley that was once an ancient sea bed, also known, as “Vanderbilt’s First Choice”, rumored to be George Vanderbilt’s first intended location for his beloved Biltmore Estate.

BLAND LOOP • 94 MILES

Rolling through the community of Little Creek, a valley lying between Big Walker Mountain and the Little Walker Mountains, you’re surrounded by Jefferson & George Washington National Forests. This route also climbs the previous mentioned Big Walker Mountain, home to Big Walker Lookout, Virginia’s oldest and highest privately owned attraction, from which you can see five states at once on a clear day.

MARION LOOP • 138 MILES

Covering the first two mountains located within the “Back of the Dragon”, the Marion Loop glides through Hungry Mother State Park, Mount Rogers National Recreation Area and Grayson Highlands State Park.

Crossing the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Galax Loop shares similar views, curves and inclines, as this vastly popular leisure travel beat. Stationed along the ride is the City of Galax, coined the gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Stationed at the heart of the Claw is the Wytheville Loop, taking you across and along the New River, one of the oldest rivers in the world and one of very few that flow North.

Anyone can ride the Claw of the Dragon, but do you have what it takes to conquer it...? It would be a challenge for motorcycle riders or classic car enthusiasts to find a more beautiful driving trail than the scenic back roads of Southwest Virginia.

The Claw of the Dragon is made up of multiple looped trails totaling over 350 miles which snake up, out, and over several Blue Ridge Mountain ranges, including the highest elevation in Virginia. The Claw also features the heart-stopping action of the famous Back of the Dragon stretch on Virginia Route 16 that rolls through 260 curves in only a 32-mile ribbon of pavement.

Claw of the Dragon

Easily accessible from Interstates 77, 81, or the Blue Ridge Parkway, the trail takes you through a variety of terrain including rollercoaster-like peaks, hairpin curves, corkscrew turns, switchback bends and rolling scenic two lanes, enabling you to have an all-inclusive riding experience.

The Claw of the Dragon Horn of the Cow

If the thrilling adventure of the Claw isn’t enough, the trek winds through the breathtaking beauty of the Jefferson National Forest and several State Parks, boasts thick wooded forests, tumbling mountain streams and stunning scenic views.

The Claw of the Dragon Horn of the Cow Possum Run

A variety of unique attractions, delicious dining establishments and exciting entertainment venues can be found within and along the trail. At the heart of the Claw, Wytheville serves as a perfect central location to begin each day’s ride, rest your head at night and experience a one-of a-kind getaway.

Wytheville... There’s Only One! Our branding theme because there is not another town named Wytheville in the entire world.

Named for George Wythe, the first person from Virginia to sign the Declaration of Independence and the first American law professor who taught Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe.

Fun Fact: Interstates 81 and 77 run together in a wrong-way concurrency for approximately ten miles, meaning you are traveling on I 77 Northbound and I81 Southbound at the same time while actually traveling due west.

Wytheville is home to Virginia’s Smallest Church. The completely volunteer built structure is only 12’x16’ in size and serves as a quiet place of faith and reflection for all those who visit, with the occasional wedding ceremony held within its walls.

A 155 1/2 ft. tall hot air balloon, complete with basket, stands alongside interstates 81 and 77 welcoming travelers to Wytheville. This roadside icon is a cleverly disguised functioning 500,000 gallon elevated water tower.

Home to Big Walker Lookout, Virginia’s oldest privately-owned attraction. Featuring a country store showcasing Virginia artisans, authors and local musicians and a 100 foot observation tower allowing a panoramic view of five states.

At the turn of the 20th century, between 1910 and 1930, Rural Retreat, Virginia was hailed as “The Cabbage Capital of the World” thanks to the agricultural richness and fertility of this former frontier settlement.

For over 50 years travelers have made it a “point” to see the largest pencil in Virginia. Hanging on Main Street above Wytheville Office Supply, this 30 foot icon has been featured in the Washington Post comic strip “Zippy”.

Stephen F. Austin, The Father of Texas, was born in Wythe County in 1793 in a small mining community now known as Austinville. A monument to Austin stands along the New River near his birthplace.

Wytheville was the boyhood home of William Gibson, award-winning Science Fiction author and “Father of Cyberspace”. His 1982 short-story collection entitled Burning Chrome marked the first appearance of the term.

In 1987, UFO sightings above Wytheville began to be a regular occurrence. Much press attention and many investigations led to an entire television episode of Unsolved Mysteries being dedicated to this Wytheville phenomenon.

offering rentals ranging from classrooms for 25, to the entire theatre, making the Millwald perfect for your next event, meeting or reception.

Petals Wine Bar is located in the heart of Downtown Wytheville and provides a casual atmosphere with gourmet paninis, salads, charcuterie boards and bottle shop,

built in 1852, host your next event on a historic estate. Offering event packages, Loretto is committed to exceed your every expectation and it is sure to leave an impact on you and your guests.

“Local food” is categorized as any edible products grown and harvested within 100 miles of your location and

benefits:

• Locally grown foods have more flavor, as they are picked/consumed at peak ripeness instead of being harvested early to compensate for shipping and distribution.

• Locally grown foods have more nutrients, as they have a shorter stretch of time between being harvested and being consumed which means they retain more of their nutritional value.

• Purchasing locally grown foods/products supports small businesses as opposed to big box stores, keeping local farmers, growers and business owners’ doors open and able to reinvest into their businesses and the local community, as well as supporting the environment

• The fewer steps there are between you and your food the less opportunity there is for contamination, promoting a much safer food supply, as well as knowing where your food came from, who grew it and how the crops were raised/harvested.
