Just a few blocks from this area are seven structures believed to be the oldest original buildings in Wytheville. Although changes have been made, all or part of the houses existed prior to or during the 1830’s. Several served as boarding houses to accommodate visitors who chose to “summer” in Wytheville in those days. Restoration work began in 1976 and continues today.

HISTORY

Founded in 1790, Wythe County was named for the first signer of the Declaration of Independence for Virginia – George Wythe. Early settlement can be credited to the access to water (the New River and many creeks) and the abundance of natural resources, including lead. One hundred acres was selected as the county seat in 1792 and Evansham, now Wytheville, became the central town.

The history of the area patterns the history of the nation with many interesting events, legends, and characters along the way. Begin with a visit to the Wytheville Heritage

Preservation Center at 115 West Spiller Street to the Haller-Gibboney Rock House and Thomas J. Boyd Museums.

Medicine, the Civil War, and polio’s unique impact are a few of the topics covered.

The Great Lakes to Florida Highway Museum depicts the mid-20th century era with its unique look at transportation.

The self-guided Wytheville’s Historic Walking Tour showcases local history from pre-Civil War times until today.

The region’s only African American Heritage Museum is located within the Wytheville Training School Cultural Center and has an emphasis on education through photographs and exhibits. Five locations on the Virginia Civil War Trails mark the route of Toland’s Raid and offer a beautiful scenic drive between locations.

Also located in the historic district, the Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum tells the influential and controversial story of this First Lady’s life from her childhood in Wytheville to her years in the nation’s capital.

HISTORY Overlooking the New River, the Historic Shot Tower was built more than 150 years ago to make ammunition for the firearms of the early settlers. Lead from the nearby Austinville Mines was melted in a kettle atop the 75-foot tower and poured through a sieve, falling through the tower and an additional 75-foot shaft beneath the tower into a kettle of water.

A nearby monument honors native son Stephen F. Austin who would later be known as the “Father of Texas.”

Did you know?

Stephen F. Austin, later known as the “Father of Texas,” was born in Wythe County, in a small area that now bears the family name - Austinville.

When’s the last time you visited a southern mansion? Steeped in history and legend, Major Graham Mansion and The Mansion at Fort Chiswell are located minutes from I-77 and 81 and are open seasonally for special events and tours.

It would be a challenge for motorcycle riders to find a more beautiful driving trail than the scenic back roads of Southwest Virginia. Looping through the Blue Ridge Mountain range, The Claw of the Dragon is becoming one of the most popular destinations in the South for motorcycle enthusiasts.

With the charming town of Wytheville as the center or hub, the trail features loops totaling over 350 miles as it ventures over to the community of Marion to the west and Galax to the east. The drive meanders through parts of seven Virginia counties but is easily accessible from Interstates 77 or 81 as a starting point. Loops include leisurely rides through some of the most beautiful land in Virginia as well as the challenge of the “Back of the Dragon,” the heart-stopping two-lane ribbon that follows Virginia Route 16 over three mountains between Tazewell and Marion.
