Wytheville has long been recognized
as a central and convenient traveler's destination, but did you
know that there are dozens of unique attractions for all ages?
With an array of natural, historic,
and man-made attractions, this small town offers many more "experiences"
than many visitors realize without the hustle and bustle of a
larger community.
Get off the interstate and take
a leisurely scenic drive on Big Walker Mountain National Forest
Scenic Byway. This 16-mile drive will show you some of the area's
most beautiful scenery no matter what the season. On the Byway,
stop at Big Walker Lookout and Country Store, scale a hundred
foot tower or shop for locally made crafts and unusual novelties.
While there, learn the Civil War legend of Molly Tynes and see
the panoramic views that are every way you look.
