Wytheville, Virgina is one of the smaller cities to have a minor professional hockey team, but don’t let that fool you. Set in the heart of the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, Wytheville blends history, lots of outdoor activities, and has a small town “friends with your neighbors” type of feel to it. With a population of roughly 8,000 people, there’s enough going on day to day but it’s not so big where you’re ever really hitting traffic jams. When we visited to see the team on the ice, the downtown areas, shops, and local restaurants were all quite enjoyable during our stays.
Downtown Wytheville is home to a couple fun roadside attractions. Two of those are a giant few story tall pencil (The Big Pencil) outside the Wytheville Office Supply and a giant paint bucket across the street from it that looks like it’s pouring over at The Paint Store.
Both symbols make for great photo stops for visitors and they surely add a unique charm to the city itself.
