Why Pulaski County?

April 15, 2025

Tucked between rolling Blue Ridge ridges and the winding waters of the New River, Pulaski County isn’t just a place on the map, it’s a feeling.

Here, the sun rises over Draper Mountain and paints the sky in colors you didn’t know existed. You might sip coffee at a local café, then find yourself kayaking across Claytor Lake by lunchtime. No traffic. No rush. Just you and the rhythm of our peaceful pocket of Virginia.

This isn’t a tourist trap. There’s no gimmicks to our quiet charm. Just real people, real beauty, and real stories. For instance, the 200-year-old Belle Hampton estate that once housed a governor; or even our tiny shop in Draper, where handmade art speaks louder than words. Even the cows seem to nod knowingly as you drive by.

Every corner here has something to say: a rusted barn, a family-run farm stand, a winding trail. Pulaski County doesn’t try to impress you. It just is.

So, if you’re tired of loud and longing for life’s quiet moments, come find them here.

Pulaski County. You didn’t know you needed it…… until now
