Appalachian Quilt Trail

We invite you to take a trip back in time as you slow down and enjoy the scenic countryside of our region. For your pleasure we have displayed the artistry of the traditional quilt on a backdrop of historic and beautiful barns. www.QuiltTrail.org

As Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail, The Crooked Road sweeps across Southwest Virginia connecting major heritage music venues like the Blue Ridge Music Center, the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, Carter Family Fold, and the Ralph Stanley Museum. The trail celebrates the traditional gospel, bluegrass and mountain music—all passed down from generation to generation, living on through a wealth of musicians, aficionados and instrument makers throughout the region. Events along the trail include annual festivals, weekly concerts, live radio shows and impromptu jam sessions.
