Among the cities of Virginia, Clintwood stands out as the seat of Dickenson County in the Appalachian coalfields. Set in the Cranesnest River valley in far southwestern Virginia, it is a small administrative center surrounded by the wooded ridges of the central Appalachians. The town is closely associated with Ralph Stanley, the banjo player and bluegrass pioneer from Dickenson County; the Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center preserves that musical legacy in downtown Clintwood. County institutions and local businesses give the town a practical, lived-in character. Discover further points of interest through webcams across Dickenson County.
