Outdoor Activities: Go off-roading on the Spear Head Trails, 60 miles of trails built specifically for ATVs and dirt bikes. Fun Fact: Film fans can discover some of the same landmarks made famous by author Adriana Trigiani in her book Big Stone Gap, a book named after the real town less than 30 minutes from Wise. In 2013, she returned to her hometown to turn her well-known novel into a movie. Big Stone Gap tells a (somewhat) fictional account of growing up in a small southwestern Virginia town and stars Whoopi Goldberg, Ashley Judd, Patrick Wilson, Jenna Elfman, and Jane Krakowski.Westmoreland

Named “One of a Dozen Distinctive Destinations in the United States” by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Staunton is known for its historic architecture. There are six historic neighborhoods within Staunton that are protected by local ordinances that prevent modern day from encroaching on the striking architecture.
In addition to preserved buildings, you’ll find many other historic sites in Staunton. The Frontier Culture Museum reconstructs farm life in both Europe and America over the centuries, teaching visitors about harvests, livestock care, blacksmith work, and every other aspect of life on a 17th 18th, or 19th century farm. Head to President Woodrow Wilson’s birthplace and take a tour of the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum, the only Presidential Library in Virginia.
