Heart of Appalachia

The Heart of Appalachia is rich with history, cultural expressions, and outdoor recreation.

Retrace the steps of adventurous explorers like Daniel Boone along the Wilderness Road or experience pioneer life at a living history museum. Celebrate our culture as you listen or shake a leg to traditional musical performances at a venue along The Crooked Road. Learn about techniques passed through generations of artisans at our local craft festivals. Or visit one of our three state parks for a walk on the wild side!

Youll find all these Treasures and Traditions and many more in the Heart of Appalachia. Your experience begins here.
