Big Walker Lookout is the designated overlook of the Big Walker Mountain National Forest Scenic Byway that is on US-52 between exit 52 & exit 47 of I-77 in Virginia between Bland, Va & Wytheville, Va. It is just 12 miles north of I-81 from exit 70. This is one of the few accessable places in the east where you have a 360 degree view of the mountain valleys & farm-scapes of the Appalachian Mountains. Big Walker Lookout features the BW Country Store with 25+ artisans & crafters' handmade works. It is a Crooked Road Affiliated Venue that features free, live concerts every Saturady & Sunday from May through October. We also feature artists & crafters demonstrating their talents on the front porch every weekend throughout the spring, summer & fall. We feature homemade ice cream, farm fresh fudge & delicious chocolates. It is a great hiking, biking and trail biking trail-head for beginner & expert adventurers. Big Walker is a historic pass where, during the Civil War, Molly Tynes traveled to Wytheville to warn of the impending Toland's Raid. It is a Virginia Birding and Wildlife view area and a raptor migration path. Come by for a visit. We are open year round 10-5 and later in the summer.

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 stop by to learn more about First Lady Edith Bolling [Galt] Wilson, from her birth to her incredible journey to the White House and beyond.

"My husband surprised me by buying tickets to see "Cats" for a fall trip to the area. We went to the Sunday afternoon matinee. We are regular visitors to Barn DInner Theater in Greensboro, NC and have been to Barter Theater in Abingdon, VA on several occasions. To be fair, Barn DInner is comparabl..."e to Wohlfahrt, but Barn pales in comparison. We absolutely loved Wohlfahrt! It is located in a large, old Swiss-looking building, and when you enter, it is overwhelming to see the inside. We were seated mid-way up and center stage, so our seats were wonderful. The chairs were very comfy, and our server was excellent. The food was good - not exceptional - but the whole experience was so good, we won't count off for the food. Our waitress brought out our food, so there's no buffet like the one at Barn Dinner Theater. I like the fact that Wohlfahrt serves dessert/coffee at the intermission, so you have something "sweet" to look forward to. That was a nice touch. As far as "Cats" was c...

"This isn't a general store to pick up camping supplies or food. It's a fun place to do a little browsing, soak in the music if a band is playing out front, eat some of the fudge you bought inside, or climb up the lookout to see more of the hills and valleys than you can see from the car or motorcycl..."e. The general store of course is free and there is an admission fee to climb the lookout tower and get the extraordinary view.
I have a special place in my heart for stores like this because I remember buying a raccoon tail at one when I was a kid (and my parents aren't hunters or taxidermists) and I could find all sorts of cool things. Even now I found what this store had to offer both useful and entertaining: cool little stuffed toys for kids, tools to remove ticks safely, inexpensive little bracelets, and plenty of other things that I haven't seen shopping in other stores.
