Weddings-Wilderness Road Style

Wilderness Road State Park is about as far as you can go in Virginia without leaving the State.  But I can tell you it is well worth the ride, with a reproduction of Martin's Station, a supply fort for many before heading out West into hostile territory.  Period actors work their crafts in front of you just as they would have in the 1700's.  Park Manager Jon Tustin and his staff have worked very hard to now offer a first rate facility for weddings and receptions.  Karlan Mansion built in the 1870's has been restored to some of its' luster of yesteryear.  The grounds outside this historic building is a great place for a wedding ceremony with the old Oak trees along the front lawn.  Inside there is plenty of room for a nice reception with breathtaking mountain views from the many windows.  Best of all, Virginia State Parks remain an affordable family destination.
