Arts & Culture
This is where you find bluegrass and old-time music, every Friday night as local musicians "jam" together. Super casual, fun, friendly and FREE. Held in an old country store seriously reminiscent of days gone by. Gives a taste of what "mountain life" is like.

Brinegar Cabin is at milepost 239 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you start your day here, you can travel the Parkway (toward Asheville, NC) and catch many beautiful overlooks, picnic spots and hiking opportunities. In my book, this fits the "Romance" category! This is but one of many stops on the Blue Ridge. Check out blueridgeparkway.org for more.

Located at milepost 304.4 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Stroll around before, or after you embark on the hiking trail that extends from the Center. The Viaduct is a construction marvel (you will feel as if your car is driving in the clouds) and the view is spectacular!
