Marion

The landscape around Marion is Appalachian ridge-and-valley country, which has shaped both the town’s settlement pattern and local economy. The town is the seat of Smyth County and stands beside the Middle Fork Holston River in southwest Virginia, where Interstate 81 follows the same north–south corridor. Downtown is anchored by the Lincoln Theatre, which opened in 1929 and now hosts Song of the Mountains, a program devoted to bluegrass and roots music. Nearby Hungry Mother State Park adds forest trails and Hungry Mother Lake to the area’s recreation options.
