The Big Pencil
Wytheville, Virginia
This towering, 30-foot-long yellow writing utensil has been a beloved landmark in downtown Wytheville since the 1960s. Hanging proudly outside Wytheville Office Supply, it serves as a nostalgic beacon for road-trippers. It's a delightfully simple, retro photo op that has put this Virginia town on the roadside attraction map.

Perched atop Big Walker Mountain, this historic 100-foot lookout tower offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Appalachian Mountains. Climb to the top to see five states on a clear day, then browse the Country Store filled with local crafts. It has been a beloved roadside stop since 1947.
