Countryside Artisan Trail

Charming downtowns with sidewalks lined with charming cafes, galleries, specialty shops, art centers, theaters, and craft studios greet visitors to the friendly communities found along the Countryside Artisan Trail in Washington County and the City of Bristol. This trail offers up an eclectic collection of galleries and shops featuring traditional and contemporary work from the hands of artisans who live throughout the region. A colorful patchwork of craft opportunities include classes, exhibits, working studions, and galleries devoted to the preservation of Appalachian heritage and the infusion of contemporary new world creativity. Farmers Markets and "farm to fork" restaurants do the Artisan Trail as you discover the gourmet fare created with local foods. Visiting the Countryside Artisan Trail is a rich experience that will take at least one full weekend, so play to stay for several days.
