Set your own path and ride the back roads of Virginia. We have here in Virginia the markers of our history where you can reach out and touch the early settlements, the first moves westward, the struggles and battlefields of our nation founding itself and forescore years later as a nation we struggled to find ourselves. Here in Virginia you can find the roots of more presidents of this nation than any other state. Sam Houston was born and lived in Shenandoah Valley.
We have other royals from this state. Ella Fitzgerald, the Queen of Jazz, came from Newport News. George C Scott hailed from Wise. Booker T. Washington came from Franklin County.
We have so much natural beauty that on a given day a rider can enjoy, the ocean, the bay, the rivers and streams, the Blueridge and the Valley.
During the dark times of the 30s Bristol was the hub for an evolving music sound the is today called country music. You can enjoy that history and today trace the origins of country music along our fabled Heritage Music Trail featuring the “Crooked Road.”
