Virginia Creeper Trail

Melungeon Heritage

The name Melungeon refers to a people of mixed descent who, according to one theory, are descendants of early Spanish and Portuguese explorers who made settlements in Georgia and the Carolinas prior to the historic Jamestown establishments of 1567 or 1607. Genetic studies give rise to the belief that the Melungeons were originally from northwest Africa who, known as Moors, moved into Spain and Portugal around 710 A.D. Exiled during the Spanish Inquisition, these people may have come to the New World in the 16th Century. Subsequent generations, apparently unaccepted legally or socially by their new country, retreated to the mountains where today some 500 Melungeon descendants still live where their ancestors settled in Northeast Tennessee and extreme Southwest Virginia. Newman’s Ridge is one of the most famous of Melungeon territories. Visit the Vardy Community to learn more about the mystery of the Melungeons.

The Virginia Creeper Trail is a multiuse (hiking, mountain biking, and equine) rails-to-trails conversion that stretches 33.4 miles from Abingdon through Damascus, Virginia and on through Washington County to the North Carolina line. The Virginia Creeper Trail links present day hiking, mountain biking, and equine enthusiasts with nature and history buffs as the trail travels along IV WTL 1VLQIV XI\P \PZW]OP [WUM WN [W]\P_M[\ >QZOQVQIÂź[ Ă…VM[\ countryside and highest, most gorgeous mountain scenery.
