Blaze the Trail - Trace Your Heritage to Old Dominion

Over 43 million Americans can trace their heritage to families that traveled the Wilderness Road, can you?  

This area was an important hub on the journey of America's settlers - a Crossroads to Settlement.  Botetourt, Franklin and Roanoke Counties and the Cities of Roanoke and Salem all encompass this incredible road!

Franklin County Virginia has the last existing piece of this road called The Carolina Road out at our Waid Homestead - Your innkeeper Shellie at The Claiborne House Bed and Breakfast can give you directions to this spot just a few miles from the Town of Rocky Mount here in Franklin County Virginia.  You can also see a waterfall, catch a citation sized trout, mountain bike or ride the Pigg River Ramble at this same location.

VIRGINIA IS FOR HERITAGE LOVERS
