Draper

Draper is best known within Virginia for the historic Draper Mercantile, a former general store that remains a focal point of this small Pulaski County community. Set in the New River Valley near the New River and Claytor Lake, Draper is surrounded by the rolling ridges and farmland of the Appalachian region. The community sits close to the New River Trail State Park, a long-distance rail trail following a former railroad corridor through southwestern Virginia. Local dining, lodging and community events at the Mercantile give the settlement an enduring social centre.
