Big Stone Gap is a little town with a big story! The inspiration for the novel, Big Stone Gap, by Adriana Trigiani, shows that good. old-fashioned southern hospitality and a warm sense of humor aren't simply works of fiction in this lovely, Victorian-era town. Many of the town's attractions are featured in Trigiani's books, Big Stone Gap, Big Cherry Holler and Milk Glass Moon.
