Wow, what an honor to be included on this list! Thanks @travelandleisure #visitwytheville #thersonlyone https://www.travelandleisure.com/small-towns-in-virginia-11759376

In the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, we’re surrounded by daily reminders of nature’s quiet power. From the wildflower-covered trails of Crystal Springs to the rolling landscapes of Big Walker Lookout, the natural world here doesn’t just take your breath away—it fills your spirit.

In Wytheville, nature is more than a backdrop—it’s a way of life. It inspires artists, brings families together, and offers moments of peace in our busy days. This Earth Day, let’s honor these gifts by preserving them—for ourselves, for future generations, and for every traveler who finds something special here. #earthday #visitwytheville #theresonlyone #protectourplanet🌏

Took a little ❄️ stroll around @downtown_wytheville during our lunch break. It did not disappoint!

Although we were not untouched, our hearts go out to our neighbors and friends who have been more affected by Hurricane Helene. We are incredibly grateful to report that Wytheville has experienced only minimal damage, and our town is open for business. While some areas of Southwest Virginia are still recovering, we are ready to welcome visitors to Wytheville with open arms. If you’re looking to getaway or just passing through, our local shops, restaurants, and attractions are here to offer you a warm and welcoming experience.

Wytheville... There’s Only One!

Happy 20th anniversary to Fort Chiswell Animal Park, one of our most unique and immersive experiences. 🐫🐃🦙🦓
