As you travel through the Town of Pocahontas, VA, and cross the old bridge, take a right on the Boissevain Road. Just a little further down you’ll see the Exhibition Mine Road, take another right. Now it’s just a short scenic drive until you make a left on state route 672.
You’ve made it. You’re now atop Peel Chestnut Mountain.
Peel Chestnut Mountain is a close-knit community of folks situated in the northern tip of Tazewell County, VA, and right on the border between Virginia and West Virginia.
Peel Chestnut Mountain holds the distinction of hosting two of the largest, and most popular events that take place in the region each year – the Peel Chestnut Mountain July 4th Celebration and the Peel Chestnut Mountain Pumpkin Festival. Both events are hosted by Russell and Pat Synan at the Synan Homeplace and attract hundreds, even thousands of folks to Peel Chestnut Mountain each year.
No matter what time of year or what the occasion is, you’re welcome atop Peel Chestnut Mountain anytime. And don’t worry if you get lost along the way. Just stop and ask. Everyone knows how to get you there.
