Crabtree Falls,
the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi, is a gem of the Blue
Ridge Mountains and feeds into the Tye River which is named after Allen
Tye who did extensive exploration of the Blue
Ridge Mountains.
Additionally, the location of the Orchard
House Bed and Breakfast is central to such sites as Monticello, home of
Thomas Jefferson or the Appomattox Courthouse famous for the surrender meeting between
Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant which made the reunification of the Nation possible.
Nelson Country and the Blue
Ridge Mountains is also the hometown of Earl Hamner, creator of the hit
television series, The Walton's. The Walton Mountain museum is full of memorabilia
from the famous television series as well as replicas of the television set.
Whatever your interest, the Orchard
House Bed and Breakfast will be a wonderful stop along your Blue
Ridge Mountains getaway.
