Wirtz

Wirtz straddles the rolling foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains in Franklin County, a position that has kept this small community connected to rural farmland, forest and the region’s lake country. The surrounding mountain-and-valley terrain marks the transition between the Piedmont and Blue Ridge, while Smith Mountain Lake is a major recreational landmark in the county. Franklin County is also home to the Booker T. Washington National Monument, preserving the birthplace of the educator, author and civil-rights leader. Wirtz provides a quiet base for following local roads through a distinctly rural corner of Virginia. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Virginia’s Blue Ridge region.
