One of the eight major venues on the Crooked Road-Virginia's Heritage Music Trail, the original Country Cabin was built in 1937-38 with the encouragement of local musician Kate O’Neil Peters Sturgill, a ballad singer and songwriter. Country Cabin II (pictured above) was built in 2002 to accommodate larger audiences and to host a wider variety of programs. In addition to clogging classes, the site continues to host local musicians and bands performing bluegrass, country and old-time music throughout the year every Saturday night from 7:30 - 10:30 p.m, as well as the annual Dock Boggs Festival.

Admission for the Saturday concert, September 10, 2011  is $10.00.  The grounds open at 10:30 AM on Saturday, and performances begin at 12:00 Noon.  College Students with a valid school identification are admitted free.  Traditional mountain food will be available for purchase through various concessions on the grounds.
