Bristol is a Virginia city in the Appalachian Mountains with the same-name twin in Tennessee. The border between the two states runs right down the middle of the main street, State Street. Bristol is surrounded by picturesque South Holston Lake and the Holston River. Little Creek and Beaver Creek flow through the city. Bristol is recognized as the "Birthplace of Country Music" and the Birthplace of Country Music Museum is the place to learn about people who contributed to the birth and development of country music as a new music genre.
