Martinsville is located in Southern Virginia near the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although this town is well-known for NASCAR racing, it’s also a place to visit because of the outdoor recreation, culture and the arts, and southern cooking. Adventurers can take a kayak down the Smith River, organize a fishing trip, or walk along nature trails.

Those interested in humanities can visit art centers, multi-cultural museums, and other historical landmarks. And of course, there are delicious eats spread around town to satisfy a myriad of cravings.
