It is one of the more historic areas in SW Virginia dating to pre-Colonial days. It is also one of the most scenic. The view from the bridge than spans the New River where the ferry once ran is breathtakingly beautiful. I posted a picture I took from the bridge a few months ago. The area around the bridge is rife with postcard photo opportunities. Here are a few for your perusal.
