Virginia Living Feature Story on the

Alleghany Highlands

We are so excited to not only be featured on the COVER of Virginia Living, but also in an 8-page spread within the issue! Check it out at the link below. Our featured story begins on page 40!

From Train Town to Art Town:

The Reinvention of Clifton Forge

"Small art towns have come to epitomize rural cultural coolness because who wouldn’t want to visit a lively, open-minded town? A small art town is the type of community people love visiting on a weekend getaway… the sort of place urbanites move to after selling their condo… the sort of place where people can find a true sense of community. "
