Designated as "one of the Best Top Ten Antiquing Towns in the US" by Fodor's Travel, Buchanan awaits your discovery. Nestled within the steep slopes of the Blue Ridge and Alleghany Mountains Buchanan is a vibrant community established at the crossroads of the Colonial Era Great Valley Road and the James River. The town has been an important stopping point for travelers since the 1700's. Scenic beauty and history surround you as you explore our historic Main Street, paddle the James River, peddle the US Bicentennial Bike Route, hike the Appalachian Trail, cruise the Blue Ridge Parkway or ride the Glen Wilton Horse Trail. Four VA Civil War Trail markers highlight "Hunter's Raid." Antiques, art, an original soda fountain, a theatre and more fill Buchanan's historic buildings dating from the early 1800's through the 1950's. The Town Park highlights remnants of the historic James River & Kanawha Canal surveyed by George Washington while providing a starting point for fishers, canoeist and kayakers. A full Calendar of Events provides seasonal festivals, concerts throughout the downtown and on the town park for visitors to enjoy throughout the year. Bring the entire family to rediscover life in small town America as you remember it.
