"The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones." —Confucius

If you're looking for a beautiful drive and to beat cabin fever this winter, we invite you to check out the Rock Churches built by Reverend Robert Childress! Pictured are Mayberry Church and Slate Mountain Church in Patrick County.

The six rock churches are found throughout the tri-county area of Floyd, Patrick, and Carroll. These beautiful fieldstone churches were built and founded between 1919 and 1954 to raise the community out of poverty and crime.

Before starting your tour, be sure to stop at Poor Farmers Market in Meadows of Dan, Virginia to get a full tank of gas and pick up the book "The Man Who Moved A Mountain" by Richard C. Davids. It gives a deeper look into the life and legacy of Reverend Childress and an appreciation for the history and purpose of these church landmarks.

⭐️ January Events at The Star Theatre in Downtown Stuart ⭐️

🎶 January 17 - Dangermuffin @ The Historic Star Theatre
While it may be futile to try to define Dangermuffin’s sound, it is possible to pinpoint the themes that inspire much of the band’s music, and perhaps no theme is as prominent and consistent as nature, including the ocean, the sun, and the mountains...all ancient and powerful and capable of immeasurable and profound healing. These ideas, running like threads through almost every Dangermuffin album, together form the basis of some of the band’s most deeply held principles and teachings: respect the earth, stay open to the universe, and strive for healing. According to lyricist Dan Lotti, if Dangermuffin’s music could accomplish just one thing, it would be to heal. Doors open at 7PM, music starts at 8PM. Tickets are $20 in advance, $30 at the door

🎭 January 25 & 26 - Pride & Prejudice - A Musical Comedy
Reynolds Homestead, in partnership with Clark Gas & Oil, will present “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen – A Musical Comedy. The plot revolves around Elizabeth Bennet, who loves books. People, however, are another story. Especially people like the pompous Mr. Darcy who threatens to ruin the happiness of her beloved sister Jane. In this imaginative, musical retelling of Austen’s classic novel, the indomitable Elizabeth Bennet attempts to find a happy ending amidst all of life’s follies and inconsistencies, especially her own.
Advance tickets are $20 for Adults & $15 for youth 16 & under
Door tickets are $25 for Adults & $18 for youth 16 & under

🎸 January 31 - The CC Coates Band @ The Star Theatre
The CC Coates Band is a local favorite known for delivering electrifying performances that fuse blues, groove, and soul into an unforgettable musical experience. With their deep, heartfelt melodies and rhythmic mastery, the band channels the essence of classic blues while infusing it with a modern, soulful twist. Their dynamic energy and seamless interplay among band members create a soundscape that resonates deeply with audiences, leaving listeners swaying, clapping, and yearning for more. Doors open at 7PM, music starts at 8PM. Tickets are $10 each.

What a beautiful snowy winter walk on the Mayo River Rail Trail!

This well loved walking trail is just off Commerce Street in the Town of Stuart, Virginia and serves recreation with a side of local history as it follows the path of the Danville and Western Railway ("Dick and Willie").
