Seven structures located along the north side of East Main Street are believed to be the oldest original buildings in the Town of Wytheville. Although many changes have been made over the years, all or part of the houses existed prior to or during the 1830's.

Leaving behind the hot humid conditions of their southern hometowns, many persons chose to "summer" in the naturally cool village of Evansham (now Wytheville). Several of these buildings served as boarding houses to accommodate these summer visitors. Woven within these log structures are stories of mystery and superstition.

Restoration work on these buildings began in 1976 and continues today. Within this historic area, you can find several quaint shops and a historic restaurant with a park-like setting adjacent.
