Big Walker County Store

Traveling along the Big Walker Mountain Scenic Byway between Wytheville and Bland, VA on state highway 717 and US route 52, you'll pass many breathtaking sights but you will also be taken back in time.  You will get a glimpse of what life was like when things were simple.  The Big Walker Country Store pictured here has been in business since 1947 and is now an Internet Store as well.  They sell delicious home made goodies like jams and jellies, made locally.  They also sell hand made items that are made by over 30 local artisans.  See their store here.

But to experience it  for yourself and to enjoy an absolutely gorgeous scenic drive with plenty of places to stop and explore, get in your car and hit route 52.  Here's a map of the area.
