With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Wytheville, 20 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Wohlfahrt Haus Dinner Theatre, Galewinds Amusement Park and Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Abingdon, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Virginia Creeper Trail Abingdon. (But we’re also big fans of Barter Theatre and Abingdon Courthouse.)
