1. New River Trail State Park
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Devomon B
Go north to south. Last part of trail from New river to Pulaski is a long uphill slog for south to north riders at the end of a long ride. Also, trail cut off to downtown Pulaski train station takes you by the sewage treatment plant which is ugly and smelly. Trail condition great until this cut off. Horrible soft gravel from cutoff to Pulaski. Definitely not bike friendly surface.
2. Shot Tower Historical State Park

Stopped by here after driving by numerous times on I-77.
Excellent stop. The shot tower is more than 200 years old! It would be impressive to build today but it was done by hand with what we would consider rudimentary tools. Quite a feat.
Tod hand dig a hole straight enough to drop shot...then to hand dig a tunnel that meets up with the hole!!! You have to know your surveying!
Just a great visit. Takes less than an hour. There is really no reason no to stop by some time. You will enjoy yourself for a short time.
3. Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 66 reviews
The First Lady's Birthplace Museum, also her childhood home, speaks to the life of one of the most influential, controversial, and politically significant women of the twentieth century. Edith Bolling [Galt] Wilson was not only the First Lady of President Woodrow Wilson, but is also a descendant of: Pocahontas, Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, J.E.B.Stuart and Robert E. Lee. The Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum houses Bolling furniture, books, letters, art, photographs, and documents owned by Mrs. Wilson or donated by Bolling family members and friends. The second floor Bolling Home where the family lived is located above the Museum. While many historians have referred to Mrs. Wilson as "The Secret President" because of her role in our country's history during the recovery of President Woodrow Wilson's debilitating stroke in 1919, there is much more to this 'story' ... Please visit to learn more about First Lady Edith Bolling [Galt] Wilson, from her birth to her incredible journey to the White House and beyond.

While planning a trip to Charlottesville, I found this, unknown to me, gem. This is so worth the short distance from the interstate, easy off and back on. Wish I had more time to explore town. This will be a most worthy destination hopefully in...MoreThank you for visiting the birthplace of First Lady Mrs. Wilson and for taking the time to tell others about this piece of history in Wytheville. Please visit again soon!
4. Draper Valley Golf Club

Draper Valley Golf Course provided enough challenges in a scenic setting. It has rolling hills and is nicely landscaped. In the background are view of the mountains. Play was slow because of some pokey players ahead; a ranger would have been handy to ensure that play was progressing in a reasonable fashion. Overall, it is a nice course and we are glad to have played it.

Stopped here on a road trip from NJ. We viewed this as a road stop to stretch our legs. What a pleasant surprise! The animals were well kept and we got to see them all up close and personal. One of the camels was super friendly and kept sticking his head in the bus for food. The staff was very nice and seemed to genuinely care about all the animals. Would definitely recommend!

This is a pretty location, easy access from I-77, delightful gift shop with wine-related theme, and sampling of up to 3 wines is free, with additional costs for additional samplings. We like dry white wines, and their selection of them was small. If you are a red or sweet wine drinker you will get more out of the sampling than we did.

We stopped in the visitor information center to get ideas on Wytheville. The center has lots of information not only on Wytheville, but also on the rest of Virginia. We were delighted to find maps of Virginia Bike Trails, and Virginia back roads and byways. They have brochures on artisans for the different areas in VA. They also have a bee hive exhibit inside which is glass and you can watch the bees making honey. So fascinating and great for the little ones! Definitely stop at the visitor center to get info on Wytheville attractions and also Virginia attractions. When we stopped in they were also offering complimentary glasses of lemonade. Definitely worth your time!

The herb farm and garden was a nice diversion on a very warm day. We enjoyed the short stroll through the garden and the gift shop. There was a family with children enjoying the butterfly experience. Anyone who enjoys herbs and plants would enjoy this.Thanks for taking the time to visit on your way through Wytheville. Safe travels home!

While spending the day in Wytheville, we saw a sign to tour The Mansion. So we did. We were pleased to find out that in the downstairs portion of the Mansion, the Key Ingredients Restaurant operates daily. We had a great dining experience and then completed the tour of the Mansion. By the way, the owner of the Mansion is also an award-winning Chef. The tours are given by local guides and are available on a walk-in basis. The Mansion is being restored in a historically accurate manner.

A nice 15-20 minute drive outside of Pulaski, which is off the beaten path anyway. Only one way in and out but a beautiful little winding drive through the Western Virginia forests. Beautiful quite lake with inexpensive boat rentals and camping spots near the water. Super friendly staff at the camp store/boat ramp and docks. Nice little hiking trails.
