Join me as we travel deep into the Appalachian Mountains to the Heart
of Appalachia. Dickenson County, Virginia's Baby, the youngest county
in the state, is nestled in the mountains of Southwest Virginia (coal
country). Travel roads less traveled and enjoy the relaxed laid back
atmosphere in the mountains. For the outdoorsy adventurous types do
we have something for you.
The people are much like the mountains themselves, rough around the edges,
hardened by the years of life here. They tend to be clannish and protective of
what is theirs, much like the mountains that have protected them and helped to
maintain a way of life that has vanished elsewhere, reflecting our European and
Native American roots.
A tribute to Lillie Walcie Coleman (MAW) who lived her 104 years here in the
mountains of Virginia, USA. She was a wise woman. She taught us to use the
resources that we have available in the great outdoors, to live off the land.
Mountain Art Works originated to help bring awareness to our region through
tourism and marketing works of art from the mountains, the music, people, food
and crafts. We are located on The Crooked Road, Virginia's Heritage Music
Trail, The TransAmerica (Bike)Trail and Round The Mountain Artisan Trail.

A little more about the area.......
Our rugged mountain terrain protects our residents from
the outside world and restricts access into the region
except for folks willing to navigate our winding curvy
roads. And, boy, do we have the curves! A lack of major
highways (no four lane roads) into the area helps
preserve the way of live that our forefathers knew and
loved. It's well worth the adventure. Even Daniel Boone
traveled through these parts.
Plans are currently underway to develop the Coalfield
Expressway which will ease access into the region. But,
this will take some time. Don't let this be a deterrent to
keep you from experiencing our natural scenic beauty
here in the Heart of Appalachia. We are heading into the
holiday season and we are less than one day's travel
from many eastern cities. As Maw would say.."Get a
Joke on Yourself, come visit for a while". Travel roads
less traveled. You'll be Glad you did.
Natural Gas production and the coal industry are
predominate throughout Appalachia. It is a part of our
history. Coal companies can remove an entire
mountaintop to access a small seam of coal that lies
underneath.
Watch out for the trucks! Winding, curvy roads, drive
safe but the trip is worth it!

To our family and friends, brothers and sisters, cousins, associates and other acquaintances from around the globe and beyond... We wish you peace and great happiness We are living during the most challenging But glorious times known to mankind We inherit not the earth from our ancestors... But borrow her from our children Seek wisdom and truth As you travel life's journeys Realize the truths we've known till today Will not be the truths we come to know Don't carry the world's problems on your back But do your part to fix them When the answer to your questions Doesn't come in the outside world Go within Follow your heart and your dreams And Always Remember Your Road Home.
